The Saudi Human Rights Commission has condemned the Houthis' exploitation of children in armed conflicts in violation of the international humanitarian and moral norms.

The Commission appreciated the coalition forces' recent extradition of 27 children arrested fighting in Houthi warfronts back to the Yemeni government to re-union with their families.

Having participated in the extradition ceremony attended by the Coalition Forces, the Saudi Red Crescent, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the government of Yemen, the Commission commended the Coalition's humanitarian treatment with these children and provision of health and humanitarian care to them in accordance with international practices.
