SANAA, March 26 (Xinhua) -- The conflict between the Yemeni Houthis and the coalition led by Saudi Arabia reaches its seventh anniversary on Saturday. The civil war has killed tens of thousands of Yemenis and forced millions to flee their home.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014 when the Iran-backed Houthi militia seized control of several northern provinces and forced the Saudi-backed Yemeni government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the capital Sanaa.
The Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened on March 26, 2015 to support the Yemeni government.
