Civilian Casualties in Yemen School Strike

The confirmed killing of two schoolgirls in a US-UK strike on a school in Yemen is deeply concerning and unacceptable. Civilian casualties, especially of children, must be avoided at all costs during military operations. This incident underscores the urgent need for the US and it's allies to prioritize the protection of civilians, particularly the most vulnerable like students, and to uphold international humanitarian law. Targeting educational facilities is a grave violation that deprives children of their fundamental right to education and safety.
