For PBS Frontline, correspondent in Yemen embeds with Houthi fighters
On Tuesday, aid workers warned of an unfolding humanitarian crisis in Yemen saying at least 560 people, including dozens of children, have been killed in recent weeks.
The World Health Organization says 100,000 people have fled their homes as fighting intensified between Houthis and forces loyal to the embattled president. The situation is extremely fluid and confusing, but in a new documentary for PBS Frontline, independent journalist Safa al Ahmad was able to gain rare access to Houthi militias and learn more about their aims and strategies.
