UN says $3.9bn needed for help in Yemen as conflict escalates

Al Jazeera  

UN says funds needed to help some 16 million people in the war-torn country amid rise in hostilities. Acting Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Ramesh Rajasingham told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that “the biggest constraint right now is funding” to help about 16 million people in Yemen, where a brutal conflict has raged for more than seven years. Over the past month alone, escalating military action in Yemen displaced more than 15,000 people, killed or wounded more than 350 civilians and left the Arab world’s poorest nation facing growing hunger and economic collapse with no political solution in sight, the UN said. Al Jazeera’s James Bays, reporting from the UN headquarters in New York City, said “it’s a very grim picture from Yemen”. Hans Grundberg, UN secretary-general’s envoy to Yemen, told the Security Council that the parties to the conflict “are doubling down on military options”.
