Human rights groups are urging Australia to stop arms sales to countries involved in the Yemen war as the civilian death toll rises.

The world was appalled by the Sa’ada bus attack in August 2018 where a United States-supplied bomb killed 40 boys on a bus in Yemen; but since then more than 335 children have died in the fighting and almost 600 have been injured, according to new figures by the United Nations.

Oxfam’s Yemen Country Director Muhsin Siddiquey says almost one child a day has been killed in the last year and he urges countries to do all in their power to end this deadly war now.
