The document presents a humanitarian snapshot from October 2017 highlighting the dire situation of children in Yemen. Over 11 million Yemeni children needed humanitarian assistance due to the conflict that began in March 2015. The report shows one child dying every 10 minutes from preventable causes..., with 386,000 suffering from severe acute malnutrition. The education system was near collapse with 2,531 schools damaged or repurposed, depriving 1.5 million children of education. More than 7,000 children had been killed or injured in the conflict, and child labor and early marriages were increasing as negative coping mechanisms. The report also notes that 55% of Yemen's 2.9 million displaced persons were children.

The main aim of this paper is to present the current situation of children with disabilities in the Republic of Namibia, with special regard to their educational chances and influence of cultural beliefs on their lives. Namibia has a law, which entitles education for all its citizens. Despite numero...us legislative acts which should have increased the educational chances of Namibian children with disabilities, their real situation is completely different and depends on various factors, including the infrastructure of the schools, teacher competencies, their attitudes towards students, the small number of special and integrated schools as well as an insufficient amount of money transferred for the education of the children. The paper discusses all of the above factors and provides practical implications, which would improve the situation of children with disabilities in Namibia.
