Houthis strike Saudi Arabia while Yemen continues to suffer

This week, Saudi Arabia witnessed the most aggressive attack on its own soil since their intervention in the Yemen civil war three years ago.

The Houthis launched seven missiles at Riyadh. Saudi’s ministry of interior claimed to intercept all of them, but debris from one fell on a man’s house, killing him and injuring two others. This comes as all parties were engaged, indirectly, in talks that were believed to be considering a political settlement. The war has claimed thousands of lives, and displaced millions.

In this week's Beyond the Headlines podcast, host Naser Al Wasmi is joined by analyst Baraa Shibanto explain the political fallout that might transpire as a result of the attacks.

We also look at the humanitarian crisis in the country, as more than a million cases of cholera have been reported. As the rainy season in the Arab world’s poorest country approaches, the World Health Organisation is warning that an epidemic that has killed 2,000 people, could flare up again.

Jessica El Zarif, from the International Committee of the Red Cross, tells us what can be done to prevent the disease from spreading.
