United Nations: Millions of Yemenis do not have enough food during Ramadan

The United Nations announced, on Tuesday, that millions of Yemenis do not have enough food during the holy month of Ramadan, with the deteriorating living conditions, and stressed that the country’s needs “go beyond imagination.”

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a tweet via Twitter, “This Ramadan, millions of people in Yemen do not have enough food,” and called on donors to donate for the Yemenis, without further details.

On Sunday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said that Yemen’s needs are “enormous beyond imagination”, in a message to Yemenis on the occasion of Ramadan.

And last week, the United Nations International Organization for Migration announced that more than 25.5 million Yemenis are now living below the poverty line, as a result of the repercussions of the war that has been going on for more than 7 years.

On Tuesday, the United Nations revealed that it had provided financial assistance to 40,000 displaced families during about 3 months in Yemen.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees stated, through its Twitter account, that many displaced people in Yemen depend on its cash assistance, to buy food and medicine, pay rent for housing and buy clothes.

Recently, the Yemeni government appealed to UN and international organizations to provide relief to many displaced people who are facing extremely difficult humanitarian conditions, as most of them do not have a source of income.
