War on Yemen has been dubbed the forgotten war. The bombardment of one of the world’s poorest nations by Saudi Arabia which is supported by Britain and the United States. Rights groups in the UK are urging the government to break ranks with Riyadh and withdraw their support for a conflict that continues to leave innocent men, women and children dead or dying; without access to sanitation, food and adequate shelter. There is also a plea to the mainstream media to do more to highlight the real story of the war in an attempt to shame the government into action.
