The continuing war in Yemen (mostly, but not entirely, between the Saudi-backed president-in-exile and Houthi rebels linked to al-Qaida) has resulted in "...a humanitarian crisis with an estimated 18 million of the country's 27 million people in need of some sort of assistance. The country faces chronic water shortages, and people in the worst affected areas can spend hours a day waiting in line for water. The economy, the health care system, the education system have all broken down."  --  http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/03/03/518146483/u-s-ramps-up-its-fight-against-al-qaida-in-yemen

The U.N. recently named Yemen the world's worst humanitarian disaster: which is saying a lot, from what we all know is happening to the people of Syria and South Sudan.

The U.S. has responded to Yemen's crisis with increased bombing. 

Donald Trump also met with a Saudi prince this week to announce he will resume weapons-shipments to Saudi Arabia.  The Obama administration had suspended shipments, concerned at increased Yemeni civilian casualties from Saudis' use of American technology.
