U.N.: Fighting could turn Yemen food crisis into world's worst famine - UPI
UPI reports: "Severe hunger in Yemen could devolve into the worst famine in world
history - and threaten the lives of more than a million mothers, a new
United Nations report says. [...] The Yemeni civil war, now in its
fourth year, has made it difficult to get humanitarian aid into the
country [...] Earlier this week, U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis
urged the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed Houthis to stop their
attacks within 30 days so peace talks can begin."
Comment:
Hopefully they can get the humanitarian assistance where it is needed
even if the civil war continues. There are ways of doing that, Syria and
Iraq have shown that.
