French aid workers recount horror of war in Yemen

Several NGOs have sounded the alarm over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Yemen, which has been plagued by a civil war and bombings by the Saudi-led coalition since March.

The conflict has so far killed nearly 4,000 people, according to the UN.

The French medical organisation Doctors Without Borders is one of the few NGOs still operating in Yemen. Back in Paris, several of its members recount the horrors they have witnessed and their alarm at the "disastrous” humanitarian situation.

Programme prepared by Patrick Lovett.
