SANA'A, YEMEN - MARCH 28: Boys walk amongst the rubble of a building destroyed in past aerial strikes carried out by warplanes from a coalition led by Saudi Arabia, as Yemen marks its war's 8th anniversary, on March 28, 2023 in Sana'a, Yemen. March 26 saw the eighth anniversary of Yemen's war, which started following the control of most of Yemen's areas including the capital Sana'a by the Iran-allied Houthi group, which once overthrew the internationally-recognized government. On March 26, 2015, an international coalition led by Saudi Arabia launched its war on the Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and imposed a punishing land, sea, and air blockade on the country, depriving it of essential commodities including food and medicine. Today, Yemen, is considered the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with more than 230,000 deaths, and over 4 million displaced, with more than 20 million of Yemen's 30-million population depending on humanitarian assistance. The World Bank has announced a $207 million grant to address food security and malnutrition in war-torn Yemen. (Photo by Mohammed Hamoud/Getty Images)
