A Saudi Arabia-led coalition intervened militarily in 2015 in support of Hadi's government, while the conflict fragmented further with the involvement of southern separatists and al-Qaeda-linked militants operating in parts of the country. The war produced one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, marked by blockade, famine and disease, and a fragile United Nations-brokered truce beginning in 2022 substantially reduced large-scale fighting even though a comprehensive political settlement between the warring Yemeni parties had not been reached as of this description.FactsYemeni Civil WarConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsStart YearWell-attested2014 2CombatantsWell-attestedHouthi rebels;
