Yemen faces the worst famine in 100 years
The people of Yemen are facing the worst famine the world has seen in 100 years, according to this appeal by a charity working in the country.
Thousands have already died of hunger, and more than half the country relies on humanitarian aid to survive. Children are especially vulnerable: a child dies from preventable causes every 10 minutes.
The charity says it is distributing food parcels in some of the worst-affected areas in Sana'a, Hadhramout, Taiz and Aden. It is also building water wells and setting up a school feeding programme and a mobile medical clinic.
