5. As Battle for Aden Rages, Yemen is Set for a Messy and Violent Future

Yemen's humanitarian crisis is by all accounts getting worse by the day, and the city of Aden has become a major flashpoint. Aden is caught in a stand-off between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to the government they are trying to overthrow. On April 5, the Houthis claimed control of the city's al-Mualla district after a deadly assault in which neighbourhoods were apparently torched.

One of the city's electricity generators has been hit, leaving scores of houses without electricity. At the same time, one of the city's main water systems, responsible for supplying a million people with clean water, has been seriously damaged, accompanied by food and fuel shortages.

The Red Cross has issued a plea for a pause in the violence so it can deliver humanitarian aid to the city's residents – a plea that has so far been rejected.
