For almost a decade a civil war has been grinding on in Yemen, pushing the Arab world’s poorest country to the brink of collapse.
There has been less violence since a ceasefire last year but there is no sign of a deal to end the conflict.
The BBC first featured Ahmed, an 11-year-old boy who is blind, two years ago when he was teaching a class in a bombed-out school close to the front line.
Orla Guerin and her team returned to the city of Taiz to find out how he was getting on.

  • A very inspiring boy who doesn't let incredible hardships, both personal and those of Yemen, get him down. I remember seeing him the previous time, in 2021, so I'm glad to see him again.

    • Sorry but obviously the only thing he has done was telling the BBC a unique story. He was just the most endearing individual they could find (blind kid) for an interesting report. That's not really doing anything obviously. And what the duck have American individuals to do with this anyway. Why not mention the Portuguese, South Africans or any other random country? How does this thought process go in your head?
