Geneva, April 30 (RHC)-- The World Health Organization says it’s preparing to slash humanitarian aid to Yemen’s healthcare system by as much as 80%, after the Trump administration cut off funding to the U.N. global health body. 

Some 24 million people in Yemen — about 80% of the population — are reliant on humanitarian aid.  Millions of Yemenis are on the brink of starvation. 

Yemen, which has been devastated by a U.S.-backed, Saudi-led military campaign since 2015, already has an ongoing cholera epidemic.  It confirmed its first coronavirus case on April 10th.
