Sanaa, November 30 (RHC)-- In Yemen, a new report by the charity Save the Children estimates 85,000 children under the age of five have died from acute malnutrition brought on by the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war on Yemen.
The finding came as residents of the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah said the last several days have seen the worst violence yet in a Saudi-led offensive aimed at seizing the city from Houthi rebels.
Save the Children says food shipments through Hodeidah’s port have already been seriously curtailed by the fighting and that any further decline could lead directly to famine. And the United Nations has called Yemen the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in a half-century, with some 14 million people now at risk of famine.
