With an annual summit next month,

the United Nations assessed progress on countries’ past emissions commitments.

Severe disruption would be hard to avoid on the current trajectory.

Two of them died, and her 2-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Maryam,

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?
