‘We’re cooking leaves’: Civilians caught in Yemen’s war

Civilians caught in the intensifying fighting are now so hungry they are eating leaves off trees.

But it is the country’s civilians that bear the brunt of the suffering, forced to eat vegetation in spite of the adverse side effects it causes.
