UN: Famine, Malnutrition, Death Stalk Yemen as Conflict Rages

#Yemen is the shame of our modern world.

"Never Again" empty slogans of the #european leaders does not cover the #misery, #hunger and death of millions of Yemenites who are living under the worst conditions imaginable with the blessing of the US/UK/UN and direct criminal daily attacks by #SaudiArabia and #UAE.

A senior U.N. official warns that conditions for millions of Yemenis are horrendous and getting worse as prospects for a political solution remain elusive as the country enters its seventh year of conflict.

The United Nations has described Yemen as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. The U.N. reports 20 million people or two-thirds of the population need humanitarian aid to survive, five million people are on the verge of famine and nearly 400,000 children are at imminent risk of death.

David Gressly is U.N. resident and humanitarian coordinator in Yemen. Behind these numbers, he says are people struggling every day to find food to eat, clean water to drink and medicine to cure diseases.
