More than 10,000 children in Yemen have been killed or injured in violence linked to years of war in the impoverished country, spokesman for UNICEF says.

The verified tally from the United Nations' reporting and monitoring operation provides what is surely an undercount of the real toll because many more child deaths and injuries go unrecorded, UNICEF spokesman James Elder told reporters. He said the new numbers amount to four children killed or maimed every day, a “shameful milestone” since a Saudi-led coalition intervened in the war in 2015.
More than four in five children require humanitarian assistance, which amounts to some 11 million kids, UNICEF says. Aside from the violence, Elder said many Yemenis are starving not because of a lack of food but from a lack of money to buy it.
