I saw a single decent report on Yemen and it was on pbs in like 2014 or 2015 maybe. It showed how the Saudis are bombing the shit out of them with ordinance made in the USA and all the starving children dying because of the blockade on any asstancd getting to them.

I haven't seen any comparable coverage since.

The war in Yemen had very little coverage in the West. People are talking about all the drones being used in Ukraine, but they'd been using drones with similar devastating effecet in Yemen - the main difference being they tended to target people rather than tanks.
