With the ongoing conflict in Yemen already one of the poorest countries in the region over 20 million people don't know where their next meal will come from. A country crippled by conflict is sadly now on the brink of famine.

Story

This war is continually swept out of the Public's eye, could be something to do with the billions of pounds worth of UK arms being sold to the Saudi-led coalition - out of sight, out of mind. Regardless of who's in the right, and who's in the wrong, and who's profiting from the appalling violence in Yemen, there are civilians caught in the middle of it all, being blown to bit by drones and missiles, starved and dying of thirst. This has been going on for almost 10 years now. 377,000 people dead of which 85,000 were children who died of starvation. 4000 people dead from a cholera epidemic. I doubt most people reading this can even imagine just how fucking awful it must be to live in Yemen right now. I know I can't, and I hope we never have to experience such things. If you want an idea just google image search "Yemen War".
