UN warns of total food security collapse in Yemen

The United Nations World Food Programme warned on Friday that continued fighting in Yemen threatens to bring about a complete collapse of food security across the country.

The agency urged the international community to step up efforts to prevent a bleak future if conditions continue on their current course.

Its warning linked the threat to food security directly to the persistence of hostilities, underscoring the risks of allowing the conflict to continue.

The appeal called for stronger international action to avert further deterioration, presenting Yemen’s food security outlook as a worsening danger rather than an inevitable outcome.
