The Civil War in Yemen and Human Rights Violations

More than 6 years since the ongoing C.W.Y. erupted, the Country is torn apart by an interlinked series of conflicts, which led to a Proxy War. The main A.C. is between Houthis rebels, who control the North, backed from Iran, and the Internationally recognized Government, which controls much of the rest of the Country, backed from a coalition led by K.S.A. The C.W.Y. is not a single A.C. but is a chaotic mosaic of multifaceted Regional, Local, and International Economic, Military, and Political power struggles. The resulting violence has killed more than 10,000 civilians. These conflicts have exacerbated a decades-old Humanitarian crisis that has rapidly grown into one of the worst in the World, declared to attend the Level 3 of emergency in July 2015; around two-thirds of the population is in need of aid, with almost half of the population in an urgent need. Women, children, ethnic and religious minorities, and internally displaced persons are particularly the vulnerable Victims that were left with no mercy to face the most serious and grave H.R.V. The C.W.Y. have destroyed its infrastructure, and an International embargo has blocked many Humanitarian and commercial cargos.
