Starvation in Yemen

Local Editor

18-year-old Saida Ahmad Baghili, is currently receiving treatment for severe acute malnutrition at al-Thawra Hospital in the Red Sea port city.



Three million Yemenis are in need of urgent nutrition assistance.

Saudi Arabia began its deadly campaign against Yemen in late March 2015. The strikes were meant to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

About 10,000 people have been killed and over 16,000 injured since Riyadh launched the airstrikes. The Saudi aggression has also taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s facilities and infrastructure.
