As fighting between Saudi-backed forces and the Houthis intensifies, Yemen's civilian population faces mounting hardship: hospitals in Aden struggle with persistent power outages, children as young as 17 are being recruited to the frontlines amid poverty and indoctrination, and rights campaigners warn that British RAF refuelling support for Saudi jets risks making the UK complicit in war crimes.
