For months now Yemen has struggled under the Saudi attacks. A blockade has worsened the already awful conditions with lack of fuel, food, medical supplies and water. The cholera epidemic, which was declining, threatens to get out of control again. Sewerage systems don’t work any longer. Famine spreads across the country. Medical facilities are rendered non-functional.
But nothing has changed, and no help is in sight. There is no political or economic reason to help Yemen.
Several years have passed since I last traveled to Yemen. Even then, the signs of economic failure were widespread. The country was a setup for the disaster, and now it has arrived.
Even with its poverty, Yemen was a beautiful country with beautiful people.
The city of Sanaa as it was.
Mountain village
And the mountains themselves.
