The head of the U.N.'s World Food Program said progress has been made in Yemen.
David Beasley, the executive director of the WFP, told The Associated Press in Cairo on Thursday that Yemen is "far from being out of the deep, dark abyss."
As the WFP is scaling up its operations in Yemen, covering almost 10 million people described as "severely food insecure," the agency has been sending special teams to monitor aid delivery.
In December, the WFP threatened to suspend some aid shipments if the Yemeni government in Sana’a did not investigate and stop theft and fraud in food distribution.
A Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Yemen for four years. Thousands of people have lost their lives and millions have been displaced.
