The port city of Aden, Yemen, has been under siege since March, when Houthi rebels forced out President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi. This photo shows the Crater district of Aden, which has dwindling food supplies and no running water. Photographer Guillaume Binet spent nearly two weeks in the city earlier this summer.
