It has been 500 days since the escalation of conflict in Yemen-a disastrous milestone for the millions of Yemeni civilians under attack, forced to flee their houses and pushed into further poverty. Right now, peace talks between the parties to the conflict are on the verge of collapsing once again, propelling the entire country into further disaster that will take decades to undo.
"The fate of Yemen lies in the hands of those who are meant to reach a peace agreement this weekend," said Norwegian Refugee Council Secretary General Jan Egeland. "They are directly responsible for the suffering they’ve created, and for putting an end to it. It is only through an inclusive peace agreement that this senseless cycle of violence can be broken. They have failed for the last 500 days, and time is running out before the catastrophe will be irreversible."
