<p>According to the recently published <a href="https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/Yemen/YEMEN%202017%20HNO_Final.pdf"
target="_blank">UN Humanitarian Needs Overview for Yemen</a>, almost 4.5 million people
are at risk of malnutrition or require treatment or prevention services for malnutrition.
Of that number, almost half a million children under 5 suffer from severe acute malnutrition,
and 2.8 million children and pregnant or lactating women are affected by moderate
acute malnutrition.</p><p>The UK is providing £19 million to UNICEF this year to treat
children with severe acute malnutrition and support mobile health clinics. Last year,
we helped treat over 150,000 children under 5 for severe acute malnutrition.</p>
