The figure underlines how precarious daily life remains in the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country, despite relative calm since an April 2022 ceasefire. "One-third of families surveyed in Yemen have at least one child who has dropped out of school in the past two years despite the UN-brokered truce," it added.

Economic insecurity amid the war has plunged two-thirds of Yemen's 33 million inhabitants below the poverty line, the charity said, while also displacing about 4.5 million people."Nine years into this forgotten conflict, we are confronting an education emergency like never before," said Mohammed Manna, Save the Children's interim country director in Yemen.
