IBB, Yemen, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- As a new semester started in many parts of the war-torn Yemen on Saturday, children at Shuhada-Alwahdah school in Al-Radhmah district in Ibb province returned to their school, where the only available classrooms are inside a half-collapsed building.

The school's only teaching building was destroyed by airstrikes in 2015. Since then, school children are forced to study inside this dangerous building.
