Why is the Yemen War not a major news story?

Its possible that a lot of people haven't heard of this because it's hardly been in the news but it's a brutal human catastrophe that rivals the Syria War in terms of its brutality and loss of life. Saudi Arabia is doing a lot of killing and they are armed with British and American weapons. Why is this not a major international news story?

@WalksWith I think the US is currently involved in lots of wars but many don't get media attention. The Yemen thing has been going for a couple of years and I think Saudi Arabia started bombing sometime last year. Its news you have to dig to find though,

@Burnley123 Very true...sigh...honestly, it takes a lot of work to keep up. I don't watch TV and just read the news. It's sad.

@WalksWith Yes it is hard to keep up, very true.
