Almigdad Mojalli, a Yemeni journalist, was killed by a Saudi airstrike today:<\/p>\n

Over the past six months, I\u2019ve been to dozens of bombsites. Even as a Yemeni, it is hard not to become desensitised. Every day I wake up to hear that 10 people were killed last night, or 20, or 40. It almost stops feeling real. More than anything you focus on protecting those you care for. I am a journalist working in a war zone, but I am also a husband, a son and a father. While I have stayed in Sana\u2019a, I moved my family out to a village away from the airstrikes, so I don\u2019t get to spend as much time with the children as I would like. \u201cWhen will you take me to the park, Dad?\u201d my five-year old son also asks me lovingly every week. The reply is always the same: \u201cWhen the war stops.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
