March 9/ Yemeni press

UNICEF said that a large portion of Yemeni children are on the brink of famine due to malnutrition that increases the risk of infections dramatically in the light of more than half of the medical facilities shut down.

Meritxell Relaño, the UNICEF Resident Representative, said in a press conference held at the UNICEF’s headquarter on Wednesday that many children in the past two years died because of preventable diseases.
