    In my experience, greater barrier to covering Yemen than Saudi coalition is media orgs. unwilling to cover expenseshttp://www.newstatesman.com/world/middle-east/2017/08/how-saudis-are-making-it-almost-impossible-report-their-war-yemen …

        Yes, it's extremely hard to get into Yemen. But it is possible. Getting travel costs and expenses covered as a freelancer is much harder.

        I rely on donations or grants to get to Yemen. Media organisations have never covered my costs to get there. Not in seven years.

        And I can guarantee my travel budget is a small fraction of what BBC, CNN et al pay to get there.

        They all want the reporting. They just don't want to cover the costs of that reporting.

        I became aware of your journalism when you first came to Yemen a few years ago. I was very impressed. Is this your first time back?

        What do you think the outcome of the conflict in Yemen will be?

        Credit card. That's how I fund most of my expenses. Just got a new one to cover next planned trip.
