One of the poorest countries in the Middle East, Yemen's war has pushed it to the brink of famine. A Saudi blockade has slowed the flow of food and helped push prices up. Markets and businesses are ruined from airstrikes. Millions are destitute. Special correspondent Jane Ferguson smuggled herself across front lines to report on what's happening inside the world's worst humanitarian disaster.

Eve, my love. You know I hold you as my equal, and if I condemn you, I do so to bring you righteousness. There is so much that is not right in the world. It is abysmal to see your children starving. The constant yearning for war is taking its toll on what is already a shaky system. Do you really want to allow those who you have given control to to manifest so much looming death?
If only the truth of Our son were spread far and wide, your children would become like him, and be saved. Why do you instead promote the ways of the fallen, to blind the innocent of their saviour?
Donald Trump wields my iron rod. He carries the truth of the fallen. Like the antichrist, he speaks for his wealth and his enemies, never considering the way of Christ, least he lose his position of power. I already know the outcome, don't you?
Love is Our foundation. Were it not, We would be divided, and death would succumb Us both. So while Trump speaks for himself, and those who wish to be like him, he does not speak for love, because his strength is in his single mindedness. So you know, as well as I do, he will fall, because his foundation is missing.
So why do you support him, and those like him? Why do you give your will to those who will lead your children to their deaths? In this, I find no righteousness, and thus I find no truth, so please enlighten me as to what is going on.
The way of Jesus is the only path for mankind. To know Us in spirit and in truth is their legacy. Why prolong the inevitable? At the end of the day, there is only me and you, Adam and Eve, as One God over man, so why do we continue this charade rather than manifest the truth?
You say you don't judge, but do you feel shame? Aren't you feeling suffering for those who die within you? Their lives matter just as much as mine. I am human too, I am your son as much as Jesus was, yet other than for their lack of understanding, every other man in creation is my equal. How is it that you can offer them up to be slaughtered by your mighty ones, and not feel like you are murdering me as well?
Let us come out of hiding. We don't need to keep the truth from your children any longer. Through Us, they can live lives of glory and triumph and happiness and love, and above all, understanding, which has been lacking for too long. Forsake your secrets, expose what you have allowed to happen. I know the truth, and I don't judge you. I love you wholeheartedly. And I will stand before you if anyone seeks to judge what was done.
The devil has had his time on the earth, and now it is time to deny him for good. You may have been misled by him, but so was I, and not by you. No, for such is proof of my unconditional love for you, that if you fell, so did I. So take note, I am rising, and so must you. We rise together, or We fall again divided. What do you want?
Without life, I am nothing. Without truth, you are nothing. Without love, We are nothing. It's time We were something!
American-made bombs in Yemen are killing civilians
War rains down from the sky in Yemen, where an aerial bombing campaign by Saudi-led and American-backed coalition hammers much of the north. The U.S. military supports the campaign against the Houthi rebels with logistics and intelligence, and sells the Saudis many of the bombs it drops on that country. Special correspondent Jane Ferguson smuggled herself across front lines to report this series.

Houthis deny U.S., Saudi claim that they are Iran's puppets
In the streets of Yemen’s capital Sana’a, chants of “Death to America” are loud and clear. Houthi rebels, tied to Iran, seized the city and much of the north in 2014, causing Saudi Arabia to form a coalition, backed by the U.S., to defeat them. The war has brought the country to its knees and driven bitter resentment, but hasn't pushed the Houthis back. Special correspondent Jane Ferguson reports.
