Hadramawt is a large Yemeni province under the control of the internationally recognised government.MSF on Sunday confirmed that it had “lost contact with some of our staff in Yemen”.“Out of concern for the safety of our colleagues we cannot share more details at this point,” the medical aid group said.
Yemen has been convulsed by civil war since 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi rebels took control of the capital, Sanaa, and much of the country’s north, forcing the government to flee to the south, then to Saudi Arabia. A Saudi-led coalition, backed at the time by the United States, entered the war in 2015 to try to restore Yemen’s government to power.
