More than 17 million people in Yemen are currently facing hunger, including over one million children under the age of five suffering from life-threatening acute malnutrition, according to the United Nations humanitarian chief. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has exacerbated food insecurity, with the UN emphasizing the urgent need for increased international support and funding for emergency food and nutrition programs. During a briefing to the UN Security Council, the UN Relief Chief called for greater backing to address the crisis, stressing that collective resolve is essential to prevent further suffering and restore hope and dignity to the Yemeni population. The situation remains dire as famine, cholera outbreaks, and ongoing conflict continue to impact the country.
