Both pro-government forces and Houthis are accused of enlisting children to fight.
The port city of Hudaida is under attack.
An United Nations report obtained exclusively by Al Jazeera details child victims worldwide. It found that at least 1,300 children were killed and maimed in Yemen last year.
The UN says Saudi-led coalition's air attacks were responsible for more than half of child deaths and injuries.
While Houthi fighters were responsible for the killing of 83 children, the rest of the casualties were blamed on Yemen's pro-government forces and Al-Qaeda.
Both the Houthis and coalition forces are accused of recruiting child soldiers - numbering some 842 with many as young as 11.
