Hunger Worsening in Houthi-Controlled Areas as Ports Lose $1.4 Billion
A joint report warns of a sharp deterioration in food security in Yemen during May, with the percentage of households facing difficulties in meeting their food needs increasing to 62%, and the rate of severe food deprivation rising to 36%. The main reasons are declining income levels and a rise in food prices by up to 13% since February, along with a downturn in economic activity and the impacts of the blockade on Houthi-controlled ports, which lost approximately $1.4 billion. It is also expected that over 5.4 million people will face severe levels of food insecurity in the coming months, amid declining aid support and reduced fuel imports.
