Yemeni rebels have pledged to stop deploying child soldiers.

The Huthi rebels in Yemen have promised to stop employing child soldiers, according to the UN, after thousands of underage soldiers were recruited for the seven-year civil war.

According to the UN, the Huthis will release all infant soldiers within six months under a new movement plan, which also states that all warring parties have committed to eliminate “severe atrocities” against children.

The Huthis have made no immediate reaction on the agreement, which was reached after a tenuous UN-brokered cease-fire began on April 2.

According to the UN, about 3,500 child soldiers have been identified and over 10,200 children have been “killed or injured” since the war began.

After the Iran-backed Huthis seized the capital Sanaa the year before, a Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 to support the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

“The Huthis and the United Nations have signed an action plan to cease and prevent the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, as well as the killing and maiming of children, attacks on schools and hospitals, and other grave violations,” according to a UN statement released on Monday.

Human Rights Watch claimed on Monday that three children were among at least 80 civilians killed in coalition bombings in late January, according to the most recent evidence.

According to the United Nations, more than 2,500 schools in Yemen are unfit for use, with some being demolished and others being converted into refugee camps or military facilities.
