[Marwan Abdullah Yahya Saeed Al-shabi - Anadolu Agency])   The displaced families who fled their homes in the Kadha area of western Yemen’s Taiz province due to clashes between forces affiliated with the Yemeni government and Iranian-backed Houthi forces are struggling to survive in temporary camps where basic necessities are scarce, in Al-Maafer, Taiz, Yemen on September 16, 2026. [Marwan Abdullah Yahya Saeed Al-shabi – Anadolu Agency]             Some 71,000 children have been forced from their homes in Yemen over the past three weeks amid escalating conflict, UNICEF said Friday, warning that hunger and displacement are putting children at growing risk, Anadolu reports.  Akhil Iyer, UNICEF’s country representative in Yemen, told reporters in Geneva that nearly 130,000 people, including 71,000 children, had been displaced during the period, with most uprooted from or within the southwestern governorate of Taiz. “Conflict is driving hunger, and hunger makes children even more vulnerable to conflict,” Iyer said. UNICEF in recent weeks, has screened nearly 2,900 children through mobile nutrition teams in areas where it has safe humanitarian access. More than one in four were found to be acutely malnourished, while around 200 were suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

Iyer said UNICEF had verified that at least 15 children were killed and 14 injured in the conflict since early September, while three were still reported missing. The escalation has also disrupted education, with 243 schools closing or suspending classes over the past three weeks, affecting nearly 140,000 students. “We cannot keep asking children to survive what they should have never been exposed to in the first place,” he said, urging parties to protect children, civilians and civilian infrastructure, uphold international humanitarian law and facilitate safe and unimpeded humanitarian access.
