The Situation in more detail
More than 10 million people in Yemen - almost half the population - are
suffering from a shortage of food. Millions of people have exhausted
their ways of coping, and cannot afford to buy enough food for their
families
Yemen's political crisis last year increased hunger in the country as
food and fuel prices surged. According to the UN, malnutrition rates in
some parts of the country are alarming, with one in three children
severely malnourished
