The report indicates that Yemen is confronting an unprecedented rise in acute malnutrition among children, with a staggering 34% surge since last year, signaling a dire humanitarian crisis.
Factors exacerbating the crisis include disease spread, food shortages, and economic collapse, which have all contributed to worsened malnutrition rates across 117 districts, giving rise to alarming projections.
Yemen faces imminent famine conditions in critical districts, with projections indicating that 18,500 children under five may suffer severe malnutrition by year-end amid worsening socio-economic conditions.
The international community is urged to respond urgently, as the worsening situation implies that one in five households may face starvation, increasing malnutrition and mortality rates.
