Day after day, humanitarian crises worsen among the Yemeni people
they are a natural repercussion of the continuous war
while more than 24 million people, or almost 80% of the population
need urgent humanitarian aid,
including more than 12 million children, as well as the displacement of millions of people

To confront these rising humanitarian challenges
United Nations organizations have warned
of food insecurity of 1.2 million people for six months
Organizations predicted that number would rise to 3.2 million during the next six months

and they are actually exposed to severe malnutrition and need urgent treatment

presenting to 189 hospitals and 200 primary health centers
with the closing of programs to fight against malnutrition
