New UN report warns millions of children to suffer from malnutrition in Yemen
Fox News
A U.N. report released over the weekend detailed how 400,000 children under the age of five could starve to death in Yemen in 2021 amid the country's ongoing civil war and fight against COVID-19.
In the past week, dozens have been killed, and hundreds have been wounded. Marib is the last stronghold of the internationally- recognized government forces, and hundreds of thousands of civilians have taken refuge there. The U.S. state department called the Houthis to halt the fighting and end all military actions, which will allow a renewal of the diplomatic efforts. "The Houthis' assault on Marib is the action of a group not committed to peace or to ending the war afflicting the people of Yemen," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement. Last week, the Biden administration removed the Houthis from its list of terror organizations, removing a designation put forth by the Trump administration that made it difficult for aid organizations to deliver supplies to rebel-held areas in Yemen. On Thursday, the U.N. Security Council held a session regarding the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the diplomatic efforts' prospects.More Related News
