In an address this morning to the UN Security Council, WFP’s CEO David Beasley made an urgent appeal: “Don’t turn your backs on the people of Yemen.”
Burkina Faso, northeastern Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen are facing famine from a toxic combination of conflict, economic decline, climate extremes and coronavirus.
We’ve been warning since July that Yemen is on the brink of a catastrophic food security crisis. We’re now at risk of losing an entire generation of Yemen’s young children.
Yemen is one of the most complex operating environments in the world, and millions are suffering. We need increased funding to help the country turn a corner.
Today’s analysis “is truly heart-breaking”: More than 1 million more people in the southern areas of Yemen will face severe hunger by the end of this year.
On this episode of Hacking Hunger, we speak with WFP’s Annabel Symington in Yemen. The stories she tells us of Yemen’s women are either heartbreaking or heartwarming…sometimes both.

WFP has achieved an unprecedented expansion of food assistance in Yemen, scaling it up by 50 percent. But still, over 11 million people continue to face a daily struggle of finding enough food.
