Seven years of conflict in Yemen has killed or injured at least 10,000 children, UNICEF said on Tuesday after a mission to the country.
"The Yemen conflict has just hit another shameful milestone: 10,000 children have been killed or maimed since fighting started in March 2015. That's the equivalent of four children every day," spokesman James Elder told a UN briefing in Geneva where he urged an end to the fighting.
