In March 2021, the war in Yemen entered into its seventh year as an already desperate population continued dealing with the debilitating affects of the COVID-19 virus. To date, exact numbers of deaths and those infected have remained near impossible to determine due to the lack of case-tracing and widespread testing.
As of December 2020, an estimated quarter of a million people have died in Yemen’s war as per the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The conflict has ravaged Yemen’s economy and created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
