BBC Minute: On the war in Yemen - Overview

Available for over a year

BBC Minute talks to BBC correspondent Nawal al-Maghafi about a conflict largely forgotten by the outside world: Yemen. The United Nations says the war which has raged since March 2015 has killed more than five thousand civilians, displaced more than three million people, and left more than seven million on the brink of famine. In part one of our series, Nawal gives us an overview on how the conflict began, and who is fighting who.
