The United Nations (UN) has appealed for $2.1 billion to provide life-saving assistance to 12 million people in war-torn Yemen who it says face the threat of famine.
According to BBC News, the UN Humanitarian coordinator Jamie McGoldrick said the situation was catastrophic and rapidly deteriorating.
Almost 3.3 million people, including 2.1 million children, are suffering from acute malnutrition.
Pro-government forces, supported by a Saudi-led coalition, have been battling the rebel Houthi movement since 2015.
The coalition intervened after the rebels seized the capital, Sanaa, and then forced President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi into exile.
