Why the war in Yemen is a 'hidden emergency'

The Inquiry

Available for over a year

In Yemen, tens of thousands are dead after four years of conflict. Three million people have been forced from their homes but many have not been able to flee the country to seek refuge, instead they have been internally displaced. Stephen Anderson, Country Director in Yemen for the World Food Programme, says this could be having an impact on why we don’t care about Yemen.
