Vegetation Change

From 2015 to 2018

About

         Many news outlets and non-governmental organizations, as well as increasingly scholars, have pointed out that the Saudi led coalition's (Operation Restoring Hope) aerial bombing campaign in Yemen against the Houthi insurgency has been targeting Yemeni agricultural fields and infrastructure since the beginning of the war. Simultaneously, there has been a growing awareness of the famine in Yemen, which has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis of this time. Though civic organizations have been collecting data on the bombings for some time, there has been limited empirical evidence to link the bombings to the famine directly. Our study attempts to fill this gap in the analysis of the conflict, by using landsat imagery at various times throughout the conflict to measure the extent of Yemen’s agricultural cultivation, hopefully demonstrating conflict related field abandonment, and bombings effect on the country’s farming.
