5:49Now PlayingMore than eight months into the coronavirus pandemic, the United Nations is warning that millions in Yemen face famine, due to the compounding crises of economic devastation, violent conflicts and lack of access to humanitarian aid — all of which is compounded by the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign that has devastated the country. "Even after the Obama administration found that the Saudis and the coalition were not taking into account the impact on civilians or their deployment of U.S. weaponry, and they suspended it, when the Trump administration came in, they immediately overturned that suspension," says CNN’s senior international correspondent Nima Elbagir whose recent reporting on Yemen, titled "World's worst humanitarian crisis deepens after US aid cuts," details how U.S.-backed intervention created a dire situation in Yemen.
