Yemen’s humanitarian situation continues to be grim. At least 17 million people are suffering from acute hunger.

According the United Nations, 20 million people in Yemen are estimated to be in critical need of food. Approximately 60% of the population does not have enough food to meet the bare minimum of calories needed to be healthy. Yemen has one of the highest poverty rates in all of the Middle East and North Africa region and the ongoing conflict has only worsened this statistic.
According to UNICEF, “Across Yemen – already one of the world’s poorest before conflict escalated – 2.2 million children are now acutely malnourished; an additional 500,000 youngsters face severe acute malnutrition, which is a life-threatening condition.”
