"WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin and UN Emergency
Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos concluded their visit to Yemen on Thursday with
an appeal for greater support, especially from the Gulf region, for humanitarian
relief efforts in the country. More than 10 million people in Yemen – almost
half the country's population – are either hungry or on the edge of hunger with
very high rates of food insecurity. Child malnutrition rates are among the
highest in the world with close to half of Yemen's children under 5 years –
around two million children – stunted." (thanks Amir)
