Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the Houthis, the country's main opposition faction, and government forces loyal to its president in exile.
A coalition of Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia, has been launching airstrikes on Yemeni areas under control of the Shiite Houthi militants since March at the request of the country's president-in-exile.
The ongoing hostilities in Yemen have claimed the lives of at least 1,900 civilians and more than 4,000 have suffered injuries, according to the United Nations. Recent estimates from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs show that almost 1.5 million people are currently internally displaced in the country due to the conflict.
