Mahdi

Published 11. Jul 2017
It's August 2016. Two airstrikes hit down on a small village near Sana'a in Yemen. Mahdi and his brother are at work when they hear the explosion.

They ran as fast as they could towards the village, hearing people screaming for help. Their father was hiding beneath a rock. "We stayed for a couple of hours to dig people out of the rubbles," he continues. Then he got the message: His wife had not survived the attack. "For what reason? They killed my wife for no reason," Mahdi asks.

Mahdi is #morethananumber and yet, one person, out of millions of civilians that are paying the price of a brutal conflict in Yemen.
