Sufferers of the ancient disease of leprosy have been labelled as one of the minority groups hardest hit by the 3 year long war in Yemen.

Lepers have been banished from their villages, had their possessions destroyed and been completely ostracised by their communities as the disease is incorrectly labelled as a disease of sin.

Fighting has killed at least 10,000 people, wounded tens of thousands of others and forced more than one million people from their homes.
