Trapped between battle lines, war means hunger, fear for civilians

Abdullah Musleh lay screaming in pain in a Sanaa hospital on Wednesday as a doctor cleaned his shrapnal-torn face. At 8, he's the victim of a worsening war that threatens millions of Yemenis with hunger, homelessness and death.

"We were at home when airstrikes hit the missile base on the mountain near our house," Abdullah's father, Ali, said at his bedside, describing a raid on an arms depot a month ago that sent missiles raining across Yemen's capital.

"Shells from the base started flying over the houses. We tried to escape, but when we were in the street a piece of shrapnel hit my son. Thank God the doctors were able to remove it, but he needs more help."
