LONDON (Dispatches) -- The international charity group Oxfam warned Tuesday that the people of Yemen could face “catastrophic hunger” unless a rare truce that has been brokered by the UN between the warring sides in the country is renewed.

The body sounded the alarm, a day before the United Nations-mediated ceasefire is expected to run out. The truce, it noted on its website, “has brought a drop in civilian casualties as airstrikes and ground fighting have significantly reduced.”
