Yemen's civil war sparked after the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting Saudi-led forces to intervene to support the government the following year.

Since the conflict erupted, tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have been killed and millions displaced in what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
