Even seven-week-old twins are paying the price of Yemen’s war. 💔
The family of seven-week-old twins Raghad and Raad had to flee their home because of fighting between pro-government forces and the Houthis. The conflict has fuelled the country's hunger crisis.

If Britain is preparing for emergencies, imagine how worried we should be here in Yemen. 💔
Houthis have detained my brother-in-law and cousin in Jibla, Ibb, for 20 days because of their Socialist Party affiliation. Both have children waiting for them. My cousin needs open-heart surgery .Call for their immediate release and the release of all detainees.
I met this man from Mayyun Island at a displacement camp in Aden. He once had a comfortable home with air conditioning running 24/7. Now, he lives in a tent in the heat, longing even for the smell of Mayyun’s famous fish dish. His island community is scattered 💔

Political affiliation is not a crime!
The Houthi has detained my maternal uncles’ sons, comrades Yasser Al-Afif and Adel Abu Asba, because of their political affiliation.
Freedom for my cousins, and freedom for all detainees

The Houthi escalation in Yemen not only threatens the front lines, but also forces civilians into displacement and starvation, and puts the lives of children at risk

Having followed Yemen’s war since 2014, I believe the past two months have been among its fiercest, with devastating human and military losses and an expanding battlefield. No governorate or village can be considered safe.

We, as Yemenis, have all lived through difficult years of war and suffering. Yemen is a beautiful country, but we have never been given the chance to simply live, enjoy it, and have peace.
Bab al-Mandab is more than a maritime passage; it is a place shaped by a long history of competition over navigation and influence.
During the 2015 Battle of Bab al-Mandab, Mayyun (Perim) Island drew attention for its strategic location at the heart of the strait.
What caught my attention while reading about the island was its British legacy. Britain reoccupied Perim in 1857 and established facilities there for navigation, ship refuelling, and communications.
The island also has a historic building referred to in some sources as
What about the children born when Yemen’s war began?
They are now 10 or 11, having grown up with disrupted education, insecurity and economic hardship.
For them, war is not a memory. It is childhood.
Amid the fighting and shifting front lines, another story is unfolding quietly in Yemen: people displaced for the second or even third time.
A home left behind again. A life rebuilt from zero.
The war is not only redrawing front lines it is repeatedly uprooting people’s lives.
Since 2014, I’ve worked in the news, watching Yemen go through escalation, deaths, displacement and displacement again.
Every year: “Next year will be better. When the war ends, I’ll start living.”
Twelve years later my life was put on hold.
How do I get those years back?

Yemen’s Red Sea coast is becoming a much bigger geopolitical issue.
The real question is how much leverage Beijing actually has over Tehran.
