Cholera and famine in Yemen

The ongoing conflict in Yemen has led to a severe humanitarian crisis characterized by widespread famine and a cholera outbreak. The famine began in 2016 and has continued to affect millions of people, with estimates indicating that over 20 million individuals are in need of humanitarian assistance. The war has disrupted food supplies, agricultural production, and access to essential services, exacerbating the already dire situation. The blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition has further restricted the flow of food and medical supplies into the country, contributing to malnutrition and starvation among the population. The United Nations has classified the situation in Yemen as one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with children being particularly vulnerable to the effects of famine and disease.
