Yemen is a magical place. Its beauty is the land, the diversity of culture, its heritage, and the people. But that beauty has been marred by nearly a decade of conflict, a conflict that has led to the worst humanitarian crisis in recorded history. As author Lara Kajs points out, ignoring the crisis in Yemen will be a loss of humanity and to our own detriment.
Stories from Yemen: A Diary from the Field by Lara Kajs
is a first-person account of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and shares the stories of nearly a hundred Yemeni men, women, and children, as well as dozens of humanitarian professionals, and how they have been impacted by the conflict – through displacement, being unhoused, food insecurity, sickness, economic collapse, and concern for the safety and well-being of their children, and death. All of this while trying to avoid conflict, airstrikes, bullets, landmines, and traffickers.
Yemen is a magical place. Ignoring the crisis in Yemen will be a loss of humanity and to our own detriment.”
Kajs writes from the perspective of someone who spent seventeen months in Yemen between 2018 and 2021 as a humanitarian observer and crisis investigator, during some of the heaviest fighting and airstrikes, and experienced her own close call with the conflict.
Kajs’s clear and impassioned account of the Yemeni people and the plight of the embattled country of Yemen increasingly engages the reader. Revised and updated in March 2025.
For the people of Yemen.
