Yemen – The majority of schools in Sanaa and the provinces under the control of the Houthi militias witnessed a comprehensive strike for the second day in a row, one day after Houthi called for the start of the new school year. Teachers refused to end the strike until the payment of their dues and the implementation of what was agreed between the government and the teachers union. UNICEF estimates 13,146 schools, or 78% of all of Yemens schools, have been hit by the salary crunch, many of them unable to open for the first day of school. The future of 4.5 million students hangs in the balance, said Rajat Madhok, spokesman of the UN childrens fund UNICEF in Yemen. Nearly 500 schools have been destroyed by the conflict, repurposed as shelters or commandeered by armed factions in a war that has killed thousands and pushed the country to the brink of famine. . On the other hand, the Capital Media Center revealed that 3195 people have been kidnapped by militias since the coup began, including 1615 political and human right activists, journalists. The Center documented in a report that the number of detained activists was 1017, while 705 workers have been detained and 482politicians. The report confirmed that 119 crimes and violations have been committed by the militias in Sanaa last September, varied between the killing and assault, kidnapping and raiding houses and recruiting children and the development of military points
