Geneva, May 8 (RHC-Xinhua) -- The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) revealed on Friday that restrictions on both fuel and food imports to Yemen are predicted to kill more children over the next three months than bombs and bullets.

"Fuel may run out completely in less than a week" UNICEF spokesman Christophe Boulierac confirmed, adding that an estimated 120,000 children are at risk of suffering from acute malnutrition in the coming months if health and hygiene institutions are unable to function properly.

A total of 2.5 million children under the age of five also at immediate risk of contracting diarrhea and other communicable diseases, which can lead to a range of medical complications and even death.

As fuel and food imports continue to be restricted by parties of the conflict, prices have skyrocketed meaning the poorest are unable to afford essential supplies.
