The Yemeni Civil War is an ongoing multi-sided conflict that began in late 2014 when Houthi forces took control of the capital, Sana'a. The conflict escalated in 2015 when a Saudi-led coalition intervened on behalf of the internationally recognized government. The war has led to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with widespread famine, disease, and displacement. Various factions, including southern separatists and Al-Qaeda affiliates, are also involved, further complicating the situation.
