What can be done to resolve the conflict in Yemen?




A UN study says development in Yemen has been pushed back by two decades as civil war enters its fifth year.


A child dies every 12 minutes in Yemen. The civil war in the country, now in its fifth year, has killed more than one-quarter of a million people.
Peace efforts have made little progress and fighting appears to be no closer to an end. 
The United States and some other Western powers continue to support the Saudi-UAE coalition against Houthi rebels.
Every day brings horrific stories of civilian deaths - including women and children - from violence, famine or disease.
A United Nations study identifies 44 million Yemenis, nearly 40 percent of the population, as living in extreme poverty.
