Malnutrition affects schooling & health outcomes, as well as income earning potential.
After almost a decade of heightened food crisis in #Yemen, the long-term harmful effects are likely to be felt for generations to come.

HELP IS ON THE WAY! The tanker that will take on the million barrels of oil from the decaying #FSOSafer left Zhoushan today en route to the Red Sea. But funding is urgently needed to start the salvage operation and prevent a major oil spill. PR: bit.ly/3zBBSuR @UNDP

In a milestone announcement, the UN says that work to avoid a $20 billion clean up bill by securing oil stored in a stricken tanker of the #Yemen coast, can begin, once the $75m pledged for phase one is secured #FSOSafer @UNinYE

Removal of disruption at Al Hodeidah port is a key economic benefit of peace under the current truce in #Yemen.

The conflict in #Ukraine has had a significant impact on global food supply chains.
#Yemen imports 90% of its food of which 57% is wheat. Wheat from Russia and Ukraine made up 45% of all imported wheat to Yemen in 2021.
@ACAPSproject YAH investigates the impact on #foodsecurity

New analysis on global wheat supply dynamics and their impact in #Yemen
• Wheat is readily available for purchase. The problem is affordability
• Reduced humanitarian funding is likely to drive more people into IPC Phase 3

No seriously the UN needs $14 million to stop me from leaking one million barrels into one of the most important global transit waterways. I am literally the easiest problem to fix in the Middle East today.
