The two-year-long conflict in Yemen worsened an already dire humanitarian situation. More than 13,000 people have been killed, according to the U.N. and more than three million have fled their homes. Prices of food have soared leaving many suffering from hunger. Amid a cholera crisis, health care services are struggling to operate with lack of medicines, and staff who have not been paid for months.

In the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, home to nearly half a million people, the livelihood of fishermen, like many in the city, is withering by the sea.
