In the face of Yemen’s increasing humanitarian catastrophe, the UN has issued an urgent plea for action to prevent starvation. The situation has been exacerbated by the continuing fighting and a blockade of the country’s major port, which prevents crucial supplies from reaching millions of people in need.

Mark Lowcock, the United Nations’ humanitarian head, has warned that the situation in Yemen is quickly worsening, with over 16 million people in need of assistance and 50,000 already living in famine-like circumstances. Lowcock has urged all parties involved in the crisis to prioritize the well-being of the Yemeni people and strive toward a peaceful conclusion.

Yemen has been at war for many years, with severe implications for the country’s civilian population. The UN has worked diligently to offer relief and support to people in need, but the scope of the disaster is enormous, and more has to be done.
