The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday that 8.4 million people, out of Yemen’s population of 29 million, were now at risk of famine, up from 6.8 million in 2017.
According to the OCHA, a total of 22.2 million people, or 76 percent of Yemen’s population, are dependent on some form of aid, an increase of 1.5 million people over the past six months.
The humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Yemen has been worsened by a crippling Saudi-led blockade.
