<p>The humanitarian situation in Yemen is now one of the worst humanitarian crises
in the world. According to the UN, 21 million Yemenis - more than 80% of the population
- are in need of humanitarian assistance. Of those, over 6 million people are facing
severe food shortages, with households struggling to meet their daily needs. In particular,
1.8 million children require access to life-saving nutrition services. In Hodeidah
city alone, UNICEF has warned that 96,000 severely malnourished children are at risk
of dying.</p><p> </p><p>According to the UN, the total population of Aden is in need
of humanitarian assistance, with one of the highest numbers of populations displaced
as a result of the conflict. The people of Aden have been affected by reduced access
to basic services, including healthcare, food, and clean drinking water in recent
months due to the impact of ongoing conflict and food insecurity and malnutrition.</p><p>
</p><p>The UK is one of the largest donors to the crisis and has so far announced
£55 million to help vulnerable people across Yemen. This is providing vital medical
supplies, water, food and emergency shelter.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
