earlier, i spoke to 0rla from taiz — she told me more about the situation there.ch has been a battleground for years, there is no safe place for children. we have seen since we've been here over the last two or three weeks children who have been injured by snipers, by shelling and increasingly by landmines. just to give some context, the un children's agency, unicef, this says that in the course of the conflict here 11,000 children have been killed or maimed. in the last six months alone 90 children in yemen have been killed in the conflict. there is less violence than there was before. there was a temporary truce last year. it expired. since then, the guns have been quieter. nonetheless, children here are continuing to suffer and to be maimed in the worst of this conflict. and this conflict has being going on for nearly a decade. what hopes, if any, for peace? when you speak to people here they more or less say none. i don't think i've had a single conversation since i've arrived with anyone here who is expecting peace. there's a great deal of concern, in fact, a
