Reem al Saeedi; Hatem al-Showaiter BEIRUT When the U.S. government offered Hatem al-Showaiter and his wife, Reema, the chance to emigrate from Yemen to America in 2017, they decided to risk everything to make it happen. To get passports, they made a harrowing trip with their daughter, then 3, across front lines in Yemen s long-running civil war.
