بسبب احتدام الصراع.. معدلات الجوع في اليمن تصل إلى مستوى قياسي
(opens the publisher’s site)The UN World Food Programme has warned that continued fighting in Yemen threatens total collapse of the country's food security, as hunger reaches record levels.
- WFP program operations chief Matthew Hollingworth said approximately 74 percent of households in accessible government-held areas cannot meet basic food needs, a record this year.
- Hollingworth said the agency was denied access to about 350,000 people it had been assisting.
- The WFP said it needs $109 million for emergency food aid for 1.5 million people affected by the recent escalation.
- Renewed fighting has displaced more than 149,000 people, and some 18.3 million now face acute food insecurity.
- The crisis is spilling into Djibouti, with thousands of refugees crossing the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
