#2 Just three years ago: By Riona Judge McCormack
Published 25 Mar 2021:
This week, the war in Yemen enters its seventh year. ... a new famine warning is threatening millions of people. But this is only the latest in a series of fully preventable tragedies... In 2014, the Houthi armed group took control over large swaths of the country, including the capital Sanaa. The conflict escalated significantly in March 2015 when a Coalition... led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates assembled a military coalition in an attempt to restore the government of President Mansour Hadi. Six brutal years of air attacks, mortars, gunfire, fear and destruction have today left the country almost unrecognizable.
The coastal city of Aden, once a popular holiday destination, is choked with rubble... Farmland that flourished green and productive is left barren. Electricity networks are down and hospitals have been destroyed or run out of supplies. 4 million Yemenis have fled their homes in fear and more than 20 million are in need. ...no facet of life has been left unaltered.
[Imagine life there today!]
