▪︎The head of the UN food agency warned that 13 million Yemenis are headed for starvation due to the lack of funding for humanitarian aid.
▪︎David Beasley: Yemen is in a very bad situation with more than 40 percent of the population already relying on food supplies from the WFP. We’re feeding 13 million people out of a nation of 30 million people & we are running out of money. We've got twice the number of people struggling around the world now.. so, what am I going to do for the children in Yemen? Steal it from the children in Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Nigeria or Syria? That’s not right!
▪︎He said his agency was forced to cut rations in half for 8 million Yemenis due to the shortage of funds: We may be cutting those down to zero. What do you think will happen? People will die. It will be catastrophic.
▪︎The 7 years of Saudi regime war on Yemen, has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians & turned the country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
