Is Allah punishing the people in Yemen?

It is not because Allah is not providing. Others are killing them indirectly by taking away their sustenance (through unjust economic system in the world) who Allah has provided for them.

Hmmm.. according to some nothing bad happens to you unless because of what you have done (I don't believe in this mind you)
Yet I don't know. Does that mean the Ayat only means that Allah has provided it for the world in general? That would make sense I guess.

Yes, but also some of the verses of Quran have a spiritual interpretion as well. The sustenance that Allah provides for All, is also for their spiritual needs, coming down in the form of revelations to His Messengers, and then conveyed to humanity. Allah, wants human beings to be spiritually upright, so why killing children when Allah created them and provides for them. That's how I understand the verse.

Oh right. I actually kind of forgot that it said kill not your children, I was so focused on the other part. That makes sense.

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
It means that the people of Yemen are the victim of the sins of others, not the wrath of God. And it starts with the sins of those governing Yemen, whose responsibility is the general welfare of the people of Yemen.

It is the Sunni/Shiite conflict and it makes me sad. This is not Allah SWT.
It means they lack food. The reasons for that can be blamed on a spiritual being, I suppose, but I tend to thing looking closer to home would be more accurate.

Yes, but I believe a lot of people in Yemen are transgressing from the point of view of religion as well. That is what led me wondering. Also coincidentally I have been trying to find out why some Muslims believe that each earns the bad that happens to them. I don't think it's true but I want to know why they think so.
Okay. Some Christians seem to have that viewpoint as well, although it sometimes seems a little inconsistently held.
