Food insecurity is alarming in Yemen

Nearly 10.6million people (about 43% of the population) were assessed to be food insecure by end of 2014, and need assistance, with 4.8million facing a food security emergency.

Lack of fuel and electricity has triggered a breakdown in basic water and sanitation services
