Two international organizations called on the United Nations to include the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen on the list of violators of children’s rights in conflict zones.

Save the Children and Watch list on Children and Armed Conflict said they have documented at least 160 attacks on hospitals and staff over the past two years.

Save the Children and Watch list on Children and Armed Conflict cited a report of situation in which two babies were killed while in the incubators due to lack of oxygen after the hospital was damaged in an air strike by the Saudi-led coalition.

Last year, former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was strongly criticized after the Saudi-led coalition was removed from the list of violators of children’s rights in conflict zones.
