Yemen’s young children are ‘staring death in the face’

(Theirworld) – Millions of people are suffering in the appalling humanitarian crisis that has gripped Yemen – and the hardest-hit are the very young. A child is dying every 10 minutes from “preventable causes”, including malnutrition, cholera, diphtheria and – of course – the war itself. The most vulnerable, those children under the age of five, are being abandoned to “stare death in the face,” according to the United Nations, which said 80% of children are now “in desperate need of aid”.
