A papal visit and a war the world forgot

SIR – Why don’t we care about Yemen? The question is posed following your coverage (February 8 edition) of the recent visit of the Pope to the United Arab Emirates.

The situation in Yemen has reached a point that many charities and journalists have described as a humanitarian crisis, with reports of millions in need of urgent healthcare and suffering malnutrition. As the war enters its fourth year, the charity Save the Children reports that some 85,000 children in Yemen may have died because of extreme hunger since the war began.
