What's Left of Yemen

For well over a year, war has ravaged Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, killing thousands of civilians and creating one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world, in which 14 million people, more than half of the population, face hunger.

In the past three months, it looked as though there could be a breakthrough in U.N.-backed peace talks. But those talks broke down on Saturday, and the violence immediately resumed.

On Sunday, mere hours after the peace talks ended, the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition launched 30 air strikes throughout Yemen.

Among those killed were at least 18 civilians at a market outside Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.

Warplanes from the Saudi-led coalition, which has been armed, trained and advised by the U.S., bombed the al-Madeed marketplace in the district of Nehm.

Yemeni pharmacist Sadam al-Othari lost his son. The bomb exploded outside his drugstore, killing his child and a customer, and wounding him.

“They targeted only civilians,” Othari told The New York Times. “There wasn’t a single gunman or military vehicle around.”

After the bombing, “The fighter jets kept hovering overhead, and people were so afraid to help,” he recalled.
