"The war has affected everyone. I had a sister living nearby, but with the start of the war, the roads were blocked. Now if she wants to visit, she has to take a much longer route to reach us. Her children save what money they have to pay for a trip to visit family. I have brothers who have been displaced – one’s now in Marib governorate, another is in Sana’a. My mother is the most affected. She says she can’t see her children – her daughter in Sana’a and her son in Marib. She sees this war as her enemy, the reason for the break-up of her family.

We dream of free education, of free healthcare. We dream of medical care that is not for sale and is not traded with anything – that when a pregnant woman goes to hospital to give birth, she doesn’t have to pay for her own child to be born, as if she’s paying a price for her child to come into this world." - Mahmoud, Lead Health Educator, Mother and Child Hospital - Taiz Houban.
