War-torn Yemen

Yemen is in flames and the number of civilian fatalities in the country has risen to 60,000. Yemenis have carried and continue to carry tiny coffins of children – as many as 85,000 children have starved to death over the last three years in the war-torn country. The war in Yemen has displaced some 2.3 million people. Almost 22 million people are exposed to food insecurity, causing the world’s largest cholera – which is being called the century’s worst man-made crisis.

The international community, including the UN, must take adequate measures to put an end to the ongoing civil war and alleviate the unending miseries of people of Yemen.
