Destruction and human misery continue in Yemen, where fighting between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebels began in March.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is working in several areas of the country to try to deliver lifesaving medical care, but it has been difficult as medical infrastructure and staff have been targeted.
