At 0200 local time, BBC journalist Orla Guerin rode with southern national security forces across the sandy expanse of Yemen’s Saada province, where artillery fire echoes over abandoned villages.
The front line is a vomit‑shaped trench of human misery, as fighters clash with Houthi‑backed rebels. Guerin reports the daily grind of checkpoints, shell blasts, and a desperate search for wounded.
Recounting a recent visit to a makeshift hospital in Aden, she described a surge of more than 50 casualties in a single day, many with gunshot wounds and several amputations.
The war, which has already cost thousands of lives, also threatens global stability through fuel supply disruptions and humanitarian crises that reach beyond Yemen’s borders.
Eyewitness accounts from the field underline the urgency; local civilians risk death walking to medics, and the southern forces fight humanity while fighting for survival.
