A recent UN report revealed record levels of insufficient food consumption in Yemen, and indicated the continued deterioration of the food security situation in the country.

The World Food Program stated, in its June report, that 17 million Yemenis suffer from food insecurity (IPC stages 3-4).

He added that 6.1 million Yemenis are in emergency situations (the fourth stage of the International Patent Classification), and that 3.5 million Yemenis suffer from acute malnutrition.

The report indicated record levels of insufficient food consumption, at a staggering 58% in Yemen, pointing to a severe liquidity crisis throughout the country, restrictions on withdrawals, and a shortage of the US dollar.

The report said that the severe liquidity crisis continued throughout the country during the month of last June, which affected the operations of the World Food Program and its cooperating partners in Yemen. It confirmed that during the month of last June no distribution of humanitarian aid was carried out, due to a lack of funding and a shortage. Goods.

The World Food Program report added that record levels of insufficient food consumption were reported in areas under government control, due to deteriorating economic conditions, and in areas controlled by the Houthi militia due to the cessation of aid as a result of the militia’s interventions.

He continued that at the end of last June, the World Food Program had received sufficient aid and funding and was preparing to resume sending food supplies and distributions in areas under government control.
