We know the war in Yemen from the images of bomb craters, injured babies in crumbling hospitals, dead bodies and rubble. But behind the horrors of battle lies a frequently overlooked danger that is just as deadly.
War-torn Yemen is experiencing the disastrous collapse of its currency. Food, fuel, medication and clean water is becoming astronomically expensive. The result is a looming famine that could become one of the biggest ever.
"There is now a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine engulfing Yemen: much bigger than anything any professional in this field has seen during their working lives," Mark Lowcock, the top UN coordinator for humanitarian relief, recently told the Security Council.

It is our advisors picking targets for the Saudis. It is weaponry and aircraft supplied by the US which is being used to kill the Yemenis, cut off their food supplies.
Not our problem? We are complicit in this. Cooperation with evil is evil.
We should have nothing to do with those Saudi bastards. It’s been one of my disappointments with Trump.
Oh well...
More than our share of problems to worry about right here in the U.S.A.
Nottoo interested or worried about the mooselimbs in Freaking yeman.
