Yemen: WFP warns of potential ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ as fighting blocks aid delivery
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported26m ago
Renewed and intensifying fighting in Yemen has severely restricted access to conflict zones, notably the city of Taiz, due to shifting frontlines, blocked roads, and growing insecurity. The World Food Programme (WFP) and other aid groups reported on Wednesday that these conditions have cut off life-saving food assistance to approximately 800,000 to one million people.
The disruption in aid delivery arrives as the country's health infrastructure is already overwhelmed by war-wounded individuals. The UN agency warned that the ongoing hostilities risk triggering a severe humanitarian catastrophe if humanitarian access is not restored to the affected populations.
