WFP Reports Rising Hunger in Yemen
The United Nations agency revealed that the World Food Programme is experiencing a record rise in hunger levels in Yemen, as the conflict between government forces and the Houthi rebels widens and escalates. The renewed fighting has led to the displacement of tens of thousands and has worsened the population's ability to meet their nutritional needs, with three out of four families now forced to reduce their meals. The prices of basic commodities—of which the country imports about 90%—are also increasing. The organization warned that the crisis could worsen further if hostilities continue and access to conflict areas remains difficult. Additionally, there is a shortage of funding needed to assist the millions of displaced and affected people. Shipping routes are also impacted by strategic choke points such as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, further threatening food security at both the local and global levels.
