Overshadowed by the conflict in Ukraine, aid-starved Yemen – already suffering the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, according to the UN – is on the verge of total collapse.
The UN voiced disappointment after Wednesday’s conference raised less than a third of the target to help 17.3 million of Yemen’s needy.It has repeatedly warned that aid agencies are running out of funds, forcing them to slash “life-saving” programs. The violent struggle between Yemen’s internationally recognised government, supported by a Saudi-led military coalition, and the Iran-backed Huthi rebels has pushed the country to the brink of famine.
“Clearly, pressing concerns over events in the Ukraine cast a shadow on event,” Abeer Etefa, a WFP spokesperson for the Middle East and North Africa region, told AFP.
