King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) held on Saturday a workshop for children recruited by the Houthi militia and children affected by the armed conflict in Marib Governorate, Yemen.

The Saudi Center aims to measure the impact of programs implemented in the rehabilitation and reintegration plan of child soldiers, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The center also aims to identify their needs at the rehabilitation phase to be included in their rehabilitation programs, and identify the reasons for recruiting children to participate in armed conflict from their perspectives.

This is the fourth workshop for children as part of a series of other workshops being offered by the Center within the framework of developing the project of rehabilitation and integration of children recruited by Houthis.
