UN: Sixty Percent of Yemen Does Not Have Enough to Eat

Local Editor

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Action has sent trucks filled with food baskets to Yemen.

The trucks, carrying 19 thousand food baskets, reached Yemen’s capital Sana’a and the provinces of Jouf, Marib as well as other Yemeni governorates.

About 75 percent of Yemen’s population is in need of humanitarian assistance, the U.N. said, including 11.3 million children who cannot survive without it.

At least 60 percent of Yemenis do not have enough to eat, and 16 million people do not have safe water and proper sanitation.

The situation was worsened by the conflict in Yemen that has been ongoing since 2015.
