'We are scared the country will become a desert': Yemen's forests are next casualty of war 
With demand for firewood soaring due to fuel shortages, there are now concerns that Yemen's humanitarian crisis, with millions facing starvation, has compounded the risk of deforestation - threatening both the country's environment and the livelihoods of its lumberjacks.

Ali al-Emadi, who works as a lumberjack and his nephew, split firewood with axes at their village in Khamis Banisaad district of al-Mahweet province, Yemen, June 10, 2021. "The owners of bakeries ... use wood and stone to heat their ovens. In the past, they used to use gas, but now there is only wood," Emadi said. "Should there be good quantity of wood available, we make a living, thank God. But nowadays trees are scarce." REUTERS/Khaled Abdullah SEARCH "ABDULLAH DEFORESTATION" FOR THIS STORY.

Lumberjacks load bundles of firewood onto a truck in Khamis Banisaad district of al-Mahweet province, Yemen, June 24, 2021. More than six years of war between the recognised government backed by a Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi movement aligned with Iran has killed tens of thousands of people and left 80% of Yemen's population reliant on aid. The fuel shortages due to a coalition blockade on Houthi-held areas, including limiting access to the main port of Hodeidah, have led businesses and families to swap diesel and gas for firewood. The alliance says the blockade is needed to foil arms smuggling. REUTERS/Khaled Abdullah SEARCH "ABDULLAH DEFORESTATION" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES
