At least 111 children were killed while participating in the fighting with the Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, during the burning confrontations in August, according to a statistic of the Media Center for the National Resistance.
According to statistics, underage children are between the ages of 15 and 17, which is criminalized by Yemeni law and the international law for recruitment under the age of 18, and they have participated in fighting in the ranks of the Houthi militia after they were kidnapped by Iran's arm and thrown into the fires of battles in service of the Tehran mullahs project.
The statistic revealed that among the children there are nine field leaders in the ranks of the Houthi militia, which clearly shows the size of the gap in Iran's arm and the severe shortage of its elements and field leaders, after it suffered successive defeats that cost thousands of dead and wounded, so it pushed the kidnapped children to the battlefields to cover this gap and to preserve the remainder of its trained fighters.
According to statistics, the majority of children belong to Dhamar Governorate, with 28 children and 19 children from Sana'a, and 17 children from Hajjah, while the rest of the children belong to Al-Mahwit, Ibb, Taiz, Saada, Al-Jawf and Marib.
The Media Center for the National Resistance published a list of names and data of the dead children recruited into the ranks of the Houthi militia, after the Iranian arm confessed their deaths on its official media, ignoring all laws that criminalize child recruitment and their involvement in conflicts and wars.
