Why travel to a war-torn country?

Yemen’s been going through a nasty civil war for most of the last decade.

The situation’s got so bad, aid agencies have described it as the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis”.

They risk their lives crossing the Red Sea, only to face possible detention on arrival.

So, why are they making this dangerous journey? And is it really worth it?
