After
20 months of conflict the Arab Republic of Yemen is at 'breaking point'
according to the Disasters Emergency Committee which is launching an
appeal to help many thousands of civilians facing hunger and starvation.
The war has already claimed 10 thousand lives with people caught
between the armed coalition led by the Saudis and rebel forces led by
the Houthi movement. UNICEF estimates that some 2.2 million children are
acutely malnourished and need urgent care. The rebel stronghold is the
northern city of Sa'ada where some of the worst fighting has taken
place. BBC Arabic's Nawal al-Maghafi is the first broadcast journalist
to make it into the city and this is what she found.
