Millions of children are feared to starve to death in Yemen this year
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen has worsened over time, with millions of children feared to die of starvation this year. The civil war in the Middle East country of Yemen is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, and millions of children are expected to suffer from malnutrition this year.

At least 400,000 children under the age of five are at risk of starvation this year, according to a report released by the United Nations.

The United Nations says the rate of severe malnutrition is rising in Yemen due to the war and the coronavirus, and this year the rate of severe malnutrition among children under the age of five could rise by 22%. According to the report, 2.3 million children under the age of five could be malnourished this year.

The United Nations has warned that aid to Yemen’s humanitarian crisis is inadequate, with only 1. 1.9 billion of the 4 3.4 billion needed to address food shortages.

According to the United Nations, malnutrition programs have to be limited or closed due to lack of relief funds.

Earlier, the United Nations called the humanitarian crisis in Yemen the world’s worst, with 80 percent of the population badly affected by the war.
