In Taiz, Yemen, children like 10-year-old Rafeef navigate perilous routes to school, with Houthi sniper positions nearby. Despite the risks, Rafeef is determined to continue her education, hoping to become a doctor. The ongoing conflict has intensified, with reports of increased violence and casualties among civilians, including children.
UNICEF highlights that millions of children in Yemen are out of school, and the recent escalation in fighting has further jeopardized their safety and access to education. The situation in Taiz remains critical as control of the area shifts amidst ongoing hostilities.
