(MENAFN) The main goal of 21-year-old Ibrahim, youngest of five siblings and the only one to reach university, is to complete his degree and secure a better future.
To pay for his university studies, Ibrahim, who asked that his real name not be revealed, must brave the sniper-infested streets of Taiz city as a part-time soldier in Yemen's bitter civil war.
The city that has been in a state of siege for almost two years, in a country torn by war since early 2015.
Fighting between rebel Houthis from the north of the country and forces loyal to exiled President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi has caused the deaths of more than 10,000 civilians in a conflict the UN ranks as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
