These are Abdel-khaleq and Abdel-karim. They are conjoined twin boys, born almost three weeks ago in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. The city is controlled by Ansarullah, opponents of Yemens Saudi-backed government in exile. Riyadh has carried out almost daily air strikes on Sanaa and other parts of the country, in an attempt to restore a leader that is deeply unpopular domestically. The bombardment has crippled Yemens medical facilities. On Sunday, relatives prayed for Abdel-khaleq and Abdel-karim in a Mosque before carrying their bodies to a cemetery for burial.
