Introduction:

Yemen is the poorest country in the Middle East. It has 26 million people, and its young population is growing fast. 60% of women and girls are illiterate. Yemen is located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula facing Eritrea across the Red Sea and Somalia across the Indian Ocean. At the time of the prophet Muhammad, the country converted to Islam. By then it was the richest country in the region.
On March 25, 2015, Saudi Arabia began bombing its southern neighbor Yemen because they wanted to stop the advance of Houthi fighters. Hospitals, power and water stations have been destroyed and millions of Yemenis are without food. After six weeks, 300,000 people have been forced to flee, and more than 1,200 people have been killed, according to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, among them many children and other civilians. He also called the attack &ldquo;unacceptable and in violation of international humanitarian law.&rdquo; The Saudis say they want to reestablish what they call the legitimate government of former president Hadi, who was driven from power by the Houthis in January 2015 and then fled to Saudi Arabia. Hadi had become president in a 2012 election in which he was the only candidate. His term expired in 2014, and he would not have been elected if he had allowed an election to take place.&nbsp;
