Hunger increasing in Yemen, record number of people unable to meet food needs, WFP warns

The World Food Programme has issued a warning regarding a record number of people in Yemen who are unable to meet their basic food needs as hunger continues to increase throughout the country.

The worsening food security crisis coincides with the most serious military escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement since a United Nations-brokered truce largely halted cross-border attacks in 2022.
