One of the world's largest humanitarian crises plagues the people of Yemen who have endured nearly eight years of civil conflict in the country.

Backed by powerful foreign players, is there anything that can bring these warring factions to the table to find a peaceful resolution?

Tanya Beckett takes a closer look at what stands in the way of peace in Yemen.
