Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing back the government of the fugitive unpopular president, Abd al-Rabbo Mansour Hadi to power.

Some 20,000 Yemenis have been killed and thousands more injured since the onset of the Saudi-led military aggression.
