UN: 43% of Yemen Families Reduce Daily Meals



SANA’A (Dispatches) – Forty-three percent of Yemeni families have been forced to reduce the number of their daily meals due to the country’s hardships stemming from the Saudi-led attacks that devastated the country’s already dire economy, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Yemen announced. "Economic volatility & conflict means that many in Yemen regularly reduce the frequency or size of their meals or parents eat less so they can feed their children,” the WFP posted on Twitter.  Impoverished Yemen has been mired in a conflict since the Saudi-led alliance launched a lethal campaign in 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabuh Abd Mansour, among other objectives.
