The Strategies of the Coalition in the Yemen War: Aerial Bombardment and Food War

This report gives an overview not available elsewhere of the impact of the Coalition bombing campaign on food production and distribution in rural Yemen and on fishing along the Red Sea coast. Press coverage of this forgotten war has increased; there is some diplomatic and political movement; and the report on human rights violations during the Yemen war, prepared under the aegis of the Group of Eminent Experts, has been submitted to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Warnings of the risk of mass starvation echo ever more shrilly. It is high time that citizens, parliamentarians and civil organisations to do all they can to end a conflict now well into its fourth year.
