The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) said on Tuesday that the economic downturn is threatening life in Yemen.
“Millions of people in Yemen are struggling to survive after the Yemeni riyal falling to its lowest value in history,” the council said in a press release.
The devaluation of the Yemeni currency is accompanied by a significant rise in the prices of commodities, which makes millions of people unable to buy enough food to meet their daily needs, the council explained.
The council noted that the war in Yemen in its fourth year has a disproportionate impact on civilians, with more than 60,000 dead and wounded, while armed clashes, air strikes and economic hardship have forced more than three million people to leave their homes.
