Yemeni child affected by deteriorated situation
The people of Yemen are due to go to vote in presidential elections on 21 February.
They are being held under a deal that was reached last year after months of protests against the 33-year rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Hundreds of people died and thousands of others were wounded as President Saleh's government tried to suppress protests against his rule.
Eventually, President Saleh agreed to step down and transfer power to his deputy Abdu Rabo Mansour Hadi the sole candidate in next week's presidential election.
The United Nations Peace Building Fund is supporting these elections, as Brian Williams of the UN Peacebuilding Support Office explains to Derrick Mbatha.
