PBS NewsHour featured Bushra Aldukhainah, a CARE Yemen area manager, in a story about the war in Yemen where 75% of the country is in need of humanitarian assistance.
Bushra tells PBS NewsHour that there is no longer a safe place in the country, that airstrikes occur everywhere and parents are faced with the painful decision of whether to send their kids to school. A Yemeni, she has also been displaced by the war.
