Yemen: Bringing up my son in a war zone is heartbreaking
Fatima al Qubati has a one-year-old son. She worries about the impact of war on him and says children's imaginations are 'all about killing and fighting'. She lives in Taiz, once known as a 'a city of dreamers' but which now lies at the heart of the conflict.
"Women's Voices from Yemen" is a series of audio diaries by five women living in five different towns across Yemen.
