Food Insecurity in Yemen

Local Editor

With ongoing violence and peace talks on fragile ground, Yemen’s population faces a new threat: the World Food Program has warned that a funding shortfall may soon force it to halt operations in the country.

WFP is only able to provide food or food vouchers to a fraction of those who need it - 3.59 million in March. If the funding runs out, "even they will be without food," she said.

Even if the WFP were at full funding, Kashyap said, it is "still only able to fill in the gaps."
