US EditionMore than 17 Million People in Yemen Are Going Hungry, Including over 1 Million Children, UN Says
YEMEN, JUL 9 – The United Nations warns hunger could impact over 18 million Yemenis by September amid plummeting humanitarian aid and escalating conflict, with 1.2 million children at risk of severe malnutrition.
- The U.N. envoy monitoring Yemen reported this week that conflict is intensifying due to two recent Houthi attacks on Red Sea commercial ships—the first in over seven months—along with Israeli airstrikes targeting the capital and major ports.
- The decade-long civil war between Houthi rebels and government forces, compounded by regional crises, has intensified Yemen's humanitarian crisis and instability.
- More than 17 million Yemenis face food insecurity, including over one million malnourished children under five, amid rapid currency decline and plummeting aid funding.
- Grundberg emphasized that pursuing a military path would likely worsen Yemen’s hardships and stressed the importance of both parties engaging in negotiations and demonstrating commitment to peace by releasing detainees linked to the conflict.
- Without expanded humanitarian aid and peace talks, Yemen’s crisis will deepen, but recent agreements and calls to safeguard navigation and avoid further regional destabilization offer cautious hope.
