A Yemeni teacher has given up a valuable part of his life to improve education in the face of continuing war. He turned his home into a school that now serves hundreds of students. The teacher, Adel al-Shurihi, said he has watched students suffer for more than three years during the country’s civil war. Al-Shurihi lives in the southwestern city of Taiz. The area has been at the center of a conflict. The war between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi started in 2015. At the time, Houthi militants had captured large areas of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa. A Saudi-led coalition is fighting a ground and air campaign in support of the government of Hadi, who fled to Saudi Arabia in exile. Iran supports the Houthi rebels.
