while global attention has been focused on the war in ukraine, yemen s long running conflict is grinding on and children remain in the firing line. the united nations says more than 11,000 children have been killed or injured in nine years of war, in the arab world s poorest country. there s been less violence since a temporary truce last year between houthi rebels backed by iran, who seized the capital sanaa in 2014 and a saudi led coalition backed by the uk and the us which intervened in 2015 trying to reinstall the internationally recognised government. but the young can t escape the danger. the bbc s senior international correspondent orla guerin reports from the city of taiz in southwest yemen, which is almost surrounded by houthi forces. yemen s young know nothing but war. eight years on, the guns are quieter, but a generation bears the scars.
