In Libya and Yemen war zones, COVID-19 adds a 2nd front

In Yemen, Houthi rebels have been battling a government in exile, backed by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, for years. The fighting has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis that the coronavirus pandemic is making even more grim. Meanwhile, similar desperation is setting in for another war-torn nation: Libya. Nick Schifrin reports on how COVID-19 is exacerbating suffering in areas of conflict.
