RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) has organized a special outing for former child soldiers who were forcibly recruited by the Houthi militias in Yemen.
“The center sponsored a cultural field trip for 27 former child soldiers, who visited local historical sites and several farms in the Marib,” the center said on Thursday. The trip also included sports competitions, it added.
