Study: 17,729 Yemeni Civilians Killed or Injured by U.S.-Backed Strikes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A new study by the Yemen Data Project found more than 17,500 civilians
have been killed or injured in air raids since the U.S.-backed assault
began in March of 2015. A quarter of the more than 8,000 civilians
killed were women and children. The war has devastated Yemen's
infrastructure and economy, pushing half of the country's 28 million
people to the brink of starvation.
