By EDITH M. LEDERER - Associated Press

The United Nations children’s agency said this month that Yemen’s economic crisis and the relentless violence at a key Red Sea port city risks leaving millions of children and families without food, clean water and sanitation. Saudi Arabia has become mired in a proxy war with Iran, and the fallout from Jamal Khashoggi's death could give the U.S. government and a rising number of private critics of the conflict an opening to pressure the kingdom to scale back its conflict with Yemen's Houthi rebels.

Missiles raining on Yemen from the jets of the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels are killing thousands of civilians and militiamen alike, but amid crashing economy, some Yemenis see the bright side of it: they make daggers out of the fragments of the missiles for ordinary men traditionally wear for prestige and a show of courage.

Already, the fighting has been a catastrophe for civilians on the Red Sea coast. (AP Photo/Hani Mohammed)
