The United Nations on Tuesday warned of a dire nutrition situation for children in Yemen, calling for increased funding to scale up urgent emergency food and nutrition support.
Half of the nation’s children under the age of 5 suffer from acute malnutrition, and nearly half suffer from stunting, according to a briefing to the Security Council by Ramesh Rajasingham, director of the Coordination Division of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, on behalf of UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher.
