Dozens of children were killed in a Saudi-led airstrike in Yemen last week, including a school bus full of youngsters on their way to summer camp. This attack has been called the low-point of a four-year civil war that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Yemenis. We begin today’s show discussing the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
