This image made from video taken on May 7, 2016 shows, Feras Ali Hassan, a 10-year-old who is being diagnosed with leukemia, left, and his father Ali Hassan, waiting in front of a clinic in Taiz. Yemen's civil war has wreaked massive destruction and created a humanitarian disaster in what was already the Arab's world's poorest country. Taiz, one of the worst battlegrounds, has seen another level of misery: The city of around 400,000 is home to Yemen's largest cancer hospital, the Amal Hospital, and the war has doomed hundreds of its patients to death because they are unable to get treatment. Hassan, was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 6, had seen improvement over two and a half years of treatment at Amal. But for months, his father couldn't get him to treatment because the family lived in a frontline district, Wadi Hanish. (AP Video via AP)
