    A man made disaster backed by the United States
    As a Yemeni-American whos been fighting against the military industrial complex-since the war on my family's homeland began and one the U. S. army has supported and funded since 2015. Hunger Ward gave viewers a very real and very painful peek into what the silent war on Yemen looks like-the economic warfare which has starved millions of Yemenis. Bravo to the film team for putting their lives on the line to show us how complicit the U. S. has been and a special shout out to the heroic healthcare workers in Yemen, who continue to serve Yemenis with very little resources and international support. I hope the American public can contact their lawmakers, and urge them to stop supporting war crimes on Yemenis. YemenCantWait.
