Why is Yemen at war?

Confused, overwhelmed or out of touch with the news?

“Start Here – with Al Jazeera” is your source to re-engage in important global conversations.

It is our brand new show that gives the big picture, and breaks down all the big stories from trade wars to Tesla.

Our very first episode explains the complicated war in Yemen.

It is a conflict with many players, including armed groups inside the country but also big rivals like Saudi Arabia and Iran.

And it is the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis. Nearly 24 million Yemenis – the population of Australia – need aid to survive.

So how did things get so bad? And is there a way out?
