Pakistan floods cause devastation – in pictures

Flooding in Pakistan has killed more than 1,000 people

‘We are witnessing the worst flooding in the history of the country,’

says Dr Fahad Saeed, a scientist with the Climate Analytics group

‘Monster monsoon’:

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.
