Four years on, Yemen war leaves country reliant on humanitarian aid
March 24, 2019
24 March 2019 – 26 March marks four years since the escalation of conflict in Yemen in 2015. In four years the country has seen the worst cholera outbreak in history, a declaration of famine, and a crippled economy. There have been almost 20,000 airstrikes, over 70,000 people have died, 4 million have had to leave their homes behind, and now 80% of the population requires humanitarian assistance – an increase of 10% since 2018.
