Yemen: Tens of Thousands Flee U.S.-Backed Offensive Against Port City Hodeidah
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hodeidah, as the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led offensive continues. The United

humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which is already experiencing the world's
worst cholera epidemic, with more than 1 million people afflicted and
with millions more on the brink of famine.
