Field grows into camp for victims of conflict

The cornfield is dotted with tents, mud-brick shelters and huts made of sticks and plastic sheets, home to around 900 Yemenis who fled the front-lines of their country's war. Buried in the field's soil are the bodies of loved ones they carried with them as they escaped.

Around 50 kilometers to the north near the border with Saudi Arabia, their hometown Haradh lies emptied of people and largely destroyed by fighting as Yemeni rebels and Saudi forces bombard each other with rockets and missiles across the frontier.

"I am still in disbelief," said Moussa al-Shibani, a farmer now living in the cornfield, known as al-Makhzan camp. "I was stable in my land, my town, among my family. I never thought to leave. My home is a piece of me."
