Nearly 6 years into the war in Yemen, the healthcare system has in large parts collapsed. On 13 June 2018, an offensive battle was launched by the Saudi and Emirati led coalition, to seize Hodeidah from Ansar Allah forces. Clashes occurred south of Hodeidah airport, and fighting was reported along this frontline over the following three months. Despite the ceasefire deal brokered in Sweden between warring parties in mid-December 2018, the conflict continues. Daily clashes are affecting people living near the frontlines, either by direct shelling or stray bullets. Many families have been forced to move to other areas.
