Mothers Fight for Children’s Lives, Hunger in Yemen

The United Nations says 2.9 million women and children in Yemen are acutely malnourished. Nearly one third of Yemen’s population, or 8.4 million people, are fed with food aid or else they would go hungry. That number has grown by 25 percent over the past year. Aid agencies say that parts of Yemen could soon start to see widespread death from famine. More and more people need aid that is already failing to reach people.
