Yemen is a catastrophe -- millions are on the brink of starvation, cities lie in ruins, and the largest cholera outbreak ever recorded grips the country.
For three years, Saudi Arabia has led a vicious bombing campaign, while at the same time blocking humanitarian aid from reaching desperate civilians.
They aren't doing it alone -- the US is actively participating, sending them weapons and sharing targeting advice, even refueling Saudi bombers during airstrikes.
Now US senators from both parties, horrified by the slaughter, have introduced a bill to stop US participation in this tragedy. If the US steps away, it could finally stop the war. The vote will be close but they believe a massive show of public support could make the difference to fence-sitters.
