UNICEF report: Children in Yemen suffering



SANA'A, March 16 (Saba) -About 107 per thousand Yemeni children,
babies and children under five, die a day in Yemen's rural
areas, a recent Unicef report has said.

46% Yemeni children suffer from malnutrition, the report said.

"Half of children in Yemen don't attend primary school and their
issues go unreported either by local or international media," the
report said.

On child full rights, the report said Yemeni children don't receive
simple rights, adding 27 percent of them have to work where they are
usually abused physically and mentally.

Trafficking is also one of the problems of children in Yemen, the
report said.
