“The road snakes through caramel desert, from the rustic harbor to Aden’s only functioning hospital. The sun is yellow and white, shades of my headache. Seatbelt-free, the driver pushes the three-ton 4×4 beast over 120 kph, challenging the second Land Cruiser with the rest of our medical team to keep up. Next to him is our welcoming committee: Yehia, a young Yemeni nurse with a fixer’s attitude. Frank, our team leader, clutches the grab handle above him and nervously peers at the speedometer. The driver glances at him in the rearview mirror and grins.”
