Child victims of Yemen’s civil war – BBC News

The UN says the civil war in Yemen has led to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Millions of people have been displaced and at least 80% of the population are in need of humanitarian aid.

The war began in 2014 when Iranian backed Houthi forces seized the capital.

A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States intervened, hoping to restore the government.

A temporary truce last year has seen some reduction in violence but there’s no sign of a comprehensive peace deal.

Few areas have suffered more than the city of Taiz, which has been besieged for years by Houthi forces.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting from the city’s main hospital by Orla Guerin.
