US kills eight children in airstrikes on Yemen
[HodhodYemenNews] US attacks over the past three days on multiple areas in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
 have killed eight children and displaced civilians, particularly in the coastal city of Hodeidah, the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
 children’s agency (UNICEF) said, warning that Western coastal areas are "on the verge of a catastrophe" due to malnutrition.

Peter Hawkins, UNICEF’s representative in Yemen, described his observations from Hodeidah, stating, "I was in Hodeidah over the past three days. I passed through the western plains, where people are out in the streets and along the roadsides, begging and seeking help. They have lost hope. I personally saw a heavily damaged building where three children were maimed in the bombing yesterday."

"We’ve seen figures of 33% severe and acute malnutrition in certain areas. Especially on the west coast, in Hodeidah it is on the verge of a catastrophe...where thousands will die," Hawkins told news hounds in Geneva via video link in Sanaa.

He confirmed that eight children have been killed in the latest Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on northern Yemen, emphasizing that these attacks have had a direct impact on the people living near the targeted areas.

"Some of our staff members have also been affected by these bombings. It is truly shocking," Hawkins added.

Additionally, the UNICEF official warned that the ongoing humanitarian crises in Yemen amount to "a death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
 for thousands of children," calling on the international community to urgently respond by securing an additional $157 million in humanitarian aid for 2025.
