The Iranian-backed Houthi militia has killed and injured 14,10 children in Yemen since its coup against constitutional legitimacy in 2014 and launched a war on the people, according to the Human Rights League.

The association explained to the Human Rights Council that the monitors documented the killing of 5,700 children, including 1,100 in the Taiz governorate, and the injury of 8,310 others as a result of the indiscriminate shelling launched by the Houthi militia on residential neighborhoods.

She also indicated that children in the city of Taiz in particular, and Yemen in general, have been suffering from a continuous siege since 2014, by the Houthis, and she hopes the Human Rights Council will pressure the militias to stop their crimes and violations against them, according to the Yemeni news agency "Saba".

She noted that schools, hospitals, markets and children's play areas were subjected to indiscriminate bombing by the Houthis.

'Biggest recruiting for children'
It is noteworthy that last July, the Yemeni government accused the Houthi militia of carrying out the "largest recruitment of children" in humanity, through "summer camps" that received thousands of primary and secondary school students in recent months.

Yemen's permanent representative to the United Nations, Abdullah Al-Saadi, said that the Houthi militia continues its widespread and grave violations against children, including girls, through their use and recruitment in the armed conflict, killing, maiming, abduction, sexual violence against them and using them as human shields.

He also confirmed that the militias allocate weekly classes and sermons for school students urging them to recruit.
