The United Nations has moved to blacklist the Saudi-led coalition for grave violations against children in Yemen. A report to be submitted to the Security Council on Thursday blames the coalition for killing and maiming 682 children in Yemen last year. It also says the Saudi-led coalition is responsible for attacks on schools and hospitals in the country.
