Iran Press/ Middle East: Saudi Arabia, with the support of the United States, the UAE, and several other countries, has launched a military invasion on Yemen since March 2015, putting a land, sea, and air siege on the impoverished country. Saudi Arabia's warmongering in Yemen has so far killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, injured tens of thousands, and displaced millions.
In its tweet, UNICEF said: "Yemeni children are at risk of extreme hunger, not because of food shortages, but because of families' inability to pay for groceries."
The United Nations has been warning for months about the growing risk of famine, expressing concern about the severe shortage of funds for humanitarian aid in Yemen, saying the situation has severely reduced the amount of humanitarian aid to millions of Yemen
During a meeting with Ibrahim al-Hamli, secretary-general of the SupremeCouncil for Administration, Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and International Cooperation, the head of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council, Mehdi al-Mashat, stressed that the United Nations is responsible for obliging the aggressors in Yemen to lift the siege completely.
