Famine 'imminent' in Yemen as civil war drags on, U.N. official says - UPI
UPI reports: "Nearly half the Yemeni population relies entirely on humanitarian aid
for survival and the country is on the verge of a widespread famine, a
United Nations leader said Wednesday. [...] Yemen's civil war has so far
killed at least 10,000 people and led to a humanitarian crisis of
starvation and cholera."
Comment: This is a great tragedy. Strategically, I support Saudi Arabia in this proxy war against Iran. Iranian hegemony over the Middle East would be a far greater tragedy. Still, more can and should be done to get humanitarian assistance to civilians.
