that as many as 500,000
of the country’s 6.5 million people
are involved in gangs

He would play with friends in the park
on the border of a demarcation line
between La 18 and rival gang MS 13.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot
about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife,
evacuations of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question
that you can't easily find an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps
and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great
to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States
to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
