14. The Saudi-led Invasion of Yemen (2015-Present)
The Saudi-led intervention in Yemen, initiated in March 2015, has precipitated a severe humanitarian crisis. Airstrikes by the coalition have resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and injuries, with attacks on homes, markets, hospitals, schools, and mosques. The conflict has also led to widespread displacement, with over 4.5 million people forced to flee their homes. Additionally, the use of landmines and explosive remnants of war has further endangered civilians. The ongoing blockade has severely restricted the flow of essential goods, exacerbating food insecurity and leading to famine conditions. Despite international calls for accountability, violations of international humanitarian law by all parties have continued, leaving Yemen in a state of prolonged instability. (hrw.org)
