Female Yemeni university students attend a graduation ceremony in the capital Sanaa yesterday. The war between pro-government forces and Houthi rebels who control Sanaa has devastated Yemen and pushed it to the brink of famine. According to the United Nations children’s agency Unicef, 3.5mn Yemeni children are out of school. The fighting has halted the education of nearly 2mn children on top of the 1.6mn already out of school before the conflict, it said.
