Malnutrition Rate On Alarming In Yemen 2021

SANA'A, YEMEN - FEBRUARY 03: A Yemeni malnourished child, Husain Ali Hassan, 6-months old, lies on a bed while he receives medical treatment at the malnutrition treating department in Al-Sabeen hospital on February 03, 2021 in Sana'a, Yemen. Husain Ali Hassan, 6-month, has been brought to Al-Sabeen hospital in Sana'a from Hajjah province by the help of charitable people, due to his family's very poor condition, to receive medical treatment here, after he spent two weeks with reaching no benefit at the province's hospitals due to lack medical supplies. Yemen, a country with a population of 28-million, has been experiencing war and blockade for six years pushing more than 24 million people (80% of the population) to need humanitarian aid, and where children are dying on a daily basis from bombing or starvation. More than two million children are malnourished, with one in two now suffering from stunted growth because of food shortages. Yemen is considered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, where an estimated 16 million people will go hungry in 2021, and 50,000 are already essentially starving to death, amid a shortfall in aid, according to the United Nations.
