War in Yemen
The Yemen conflict is a complex civil war that began in 2014, involving the internationally recognized government and the Houthi movement, which took control of the capital, Sana'a. A coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened in 2015 to support the government, leading to widespread fighting, destruction, and a severe humanitarian crisis. Factors include political power struggles, inequality, and regional rivalries. The war has caused thousands of deaths, displaced millions, and created dire shortages of food, medicine, and services, making Yemen one of the world's most urgent humanitarian emergencies.
