AMMAN, JORDAN (HRNW)<\/strong> \u2014 UNICEF has warned that renewed fighting across Yemen has pushed more than 12 million children deeper into crisis, with over 57,000 children displaced in just two weeks<\/strong> as violence disrupts healthcare, education and family life.<\/p>\n

UNICEF said more than 104,000 people, including the 57,000 children, have been displaced since the latest escalation began in early September.<\/p>\n

The agency reported that at least nine children have been killed and 12 injured since September 3, while three other children were reported missing following an attack on a road linking Yemen’s western coast with Aden.<\/p>\n

The fighting has affected several areas, including western Taiz, southern Hudaydah and Marib, forcing families to flee and making access to essential services increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n

UNICEF said 26 UNICEF-supported health facilities<\/strong> have experienced service disruptions during the latest escalation.<\/p>\n

Education has also been severely affected, with 243 schools either closed or suspending learning<\/strong>, disrupting education for more than 137,000 students.<\/p>\n

The organization warned that children displaced by renewed violence face additional risks, including separation from families, interrupted schooling, limited healthcare and worsening psychological distress.<\/p>\n

UNICEF is urging all parties to protect children and civilian infrastructure and to ensure humanitarian organizations can safely reach affected communities.<\/p>\n

The renewed displacement adds to Yemen’s long-running humanitarian emergency, where years of conflict have already weakened healthcare, education and other essential services.<\/p>\n

UNICEF said children need protection from violence and uninterrupted access to lifesaving services as the humanitarian situation deteriorates.<\/p>\n
