The youngest and most vulnerable are paying a terrible price for over two years of war in Yemen as food, medical shortages and now a deadly cholera outbreak take their toll.

The youngest and most vulnerable are paying a terrible price for over two years of war in Yemen as food, medical shortages and now a deadly cholera outbreak take their toll. This is the world's largest humanitarian crisis say the UN, with seven million people facing famine and hundreds of thousands infected with cholera. A Saudi led coalition, supported by the US and UK, has been accused of indiscriminate bombing and blocking the delivery of food and aid in its war with the Houthi rebels, who have some support from Iran. Nawal Al Maghafi reports from Yemen on this unfolding catastrophe. Her film contains distressing images that viewers may find upsetting.
