In Yemen, the confrontation between government forces and the Houthi has continued since August 2014. The confrontation has entered its most active phase with the invasion of the country in March 2015 by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia. The conflict, which has been going on for over five years, has created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. According to the UN, more than 24 million Yemenis – about 80% of the country’s population – need humanitarian assistance and the number of internal refugees exceeds 3 million.
