SPECIAL REPORT: An Irish doctor's first hand account of working amid conflict in Yemen

In Yemen, more than three years of war have left millions of people without enough income to meet their basic needs. The deterioration of living conditions, collapse of services, trade and livelihoods are having tangible and devastating effects on the population. Niamh O’Brien is an Irish doctor who has recently returned from Al Houban, where she worked in a mother and child hospital run by Medecins Sans Frontieres/ Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

I have just returned to Ireland having spent three and a half months in Yemen; working as a doctor for Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) near Taiz city.
