(Reuters) – Saudi Arabia has handed over to Yemen’s government 54 child prisoners who were captured during fighting with the rebel Houthi militia, Yemen’s foreign minister said Tuesday. Foreign Minister Abdel-Malek al-Mekhlafi said that the children were between 8 and 17 years old and that their release showed that Yemen’s government and the Saudi-led military coalition supporting it “reject the Houthi crime of using children in war.”
