Description
Bushra al-Maqtari's powerful collection of testimonies sheds light on the human cost of war in Yemen. Over two years, she gathered over 400 accounts from civilians affected by the conflict, presenting a nuanced and unvarnished chronicle of the suffering.
By alternating between stories of those caught in the crossfire of the Houthi militia and the Saudi-led coalition, al-Maqtari highlights the disillusionment and anguish felt by those trapped in a war outside of their own making. This searing account serves as a vital reminder of the scale of the human tragedy behind the headlines.
What Have You Left Behind? is a heart-wrenching exploration of the international community's complicity in the war's continuation, and a testament to the enduring power of personal testimony in the face of conflict.
