    At the current funding levels, and without an end to the war, UNICEF cannot reach all children, and more will lose their lives. 

The United Nations Children's Fund announced in a report on Tuesday that the ongoing Saudi aggression on Yemen, which began in March 2015, has resulted in the death or maiming of 10,000 children, at a rate of 4 children every day.

The numbers only included child victims whose fates were known to the organization, mentioning that there were countless others. 

"UNICEF urgently needs more than $235 million to continue its life-saving work in Yemen till mid-2022," otherwise it will be forced to limit or stop its assistance for vulnerable children, said Spokesperson James Elder in a UN briefing in Geneva.

Elder warned that "at the current funding levels, and without an end to the war, UNICEF cannot reach all these children," and more will lose their lives as a result.

The report mentioned that "four out of every five children need humanitarian assistance. That’s more than 11 million children."

In addition, 1.7 million children are now internally displaced because of the aggression.

The UNICEF spokesperson also indicated that 400,000 children suffer from severe malnutrition, more than two million children are out-of-school, and four million are at risk of dropping out.

Last August, the UN announced that one child dies in Yemen every 10 minutes from preventable causes, including hunger and diseases.

Since the beginning of the aggression on Yemen in 2015, humanitarian organizations and UN bodies have continued to issue reports and distress calls to save Yemenis from dangers exacerbated and worsened by the siege imposed on the country.
