Hundreds of Schools in Yemen Attacked by Warring Parties

Heather Murdock

   ISTANBUL/SANAA - Eight-year-old Mazen Mohia Aldeen likes science class,
   and he wanted to grow up to be an engineer.

   But now he is considering dropping out of school. It has become too
   scary.

   His fears began in 2017, when an airstrike hit a schoolhouse in his
   neighborhood. He was also in school and everyone screamed, Aldeen said.
   He later saw reports on social media of 13 dead and more than 80
   injuries.
