Thousands of people protested in Yemeni capital Sanaa on Sunday, to condemn the Saudi-led war on Yemen in a conflict that is now in its third year. <br /> <br />Several Houthi flags and images of Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi dotted the landscape, carried by scores of chanting protesters. A member of the Houthi political bureau accused the Saudi-led intervention of committing crimes against Yemen, and expressed the desire of the people not to negotiate with the coalition, only for the "brutal aggression" to end. <br /> <br />The Saudi-led bombing campaign continues in Yemen along with US backing, with casualty figures exceeding 16,200 people since the beginning of the war in March 2015. A reported 40,000 have been injured and more than three million people have been displaced. <br /> <br />Earlier this year, the UN made an urgent appeal to stave off famine in the country, as over 7 million people are facing the plight of starvation. Currently, over three million people, including 2.1 million children, are acutely malnourished.
