Child marriage in Lebanon
According to UNICEF, 6 percent of girls in Lebanon marry before their 18th birthday. The numbers have risen with the arrival of some one million Syrian refugees.

The war in Yemen
In Yemen, the conflict shows no sign of easing. A Saudi-led coalition began bombing the Houthi movement in 2015. Two and a half years later, the programme says, the balance of power between what it calls the Shiite militia and the authorities has hardly shifted. The international community is increasingly blamed for a war that has claimed some 10,000 lives.
