What's the background?
Yemen has been at war since 2015, when President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi and his cabinet were forced to flee the capital Sanaa by the Houthis. Saudi Arabia backs Mr Hadi, and has led a coalition of regional countries in air strikes against the rebels. The coalition carries out air strikes almost every day, while the Houthis often fire missiles into Saudi Arabia. The civil war has triggered the world's worst humanitarian disaster, with an estimated 80% of the population - more than 24 million people - requiring humanitarian assistance or protection. Tens of thousands of people have died as a result of the conflict.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
