About this episode

After nine years of conflict, 18 million Yemenis need aid as the country grapples with human rights violations and economic instability. Now, the Houthis' Red Sea attacks in support of Palestinians have brought Yemen back into focus, but with no peace deal in sight, can the country recover from one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises?
