The UN calls Yemen 'the world's worst humanitarian crisis'. It says more than three-fourths of the population - over 22 million people - are in need of humanitarian assistance. Yemenis face hunger, disease, and the terror of a war which has pitted Iran-backed Houthi rebels against a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia. This week marks the end of the third year of that Saudi campaign - with no end in sight. Najla Al-Sonboli is the Head of Paediatrics at Sabeen Hospital in Sanaa. She tells Carrie Gracie that her staff are too weak to work, mothers are leaving their children at the hospital because they can't afford to feed them, and people are falling down dead in the street from starvation.
