Governments have been warned they face enduring shame should famine take hold in Yemen, where two-thirds of the population face severe food shortages
“These numbers highlight that we’re at the point of no return. If things are not done now we are going to be looking back on this and millions of children will have starved to death, and we’ll all have been aware of this for some time.”
“As much as funding – and obviously we do need money to do all the work that needs to be done in Yemen – the political track is the one that really needs working on. There needs to be a significant game change from the UK government, the US government, who have influence over the Saudi-led coalition and can say, ‘You need to open up the ports, you need to ensure that enough food and aid is getting in.”
“Humanitarian organisations left Ibb when the war began, and now only UNICEF is distributing blankets, but no food.”
“All parties to this crisis must understand that the real enemy is famine. Efforts to avert a famine need to be backed up by political action to help end the fighting.”
“Please don’t forget people in Ibb city, because they are starving to death.”
