Yemen conflict

A further one million children are at risk of famine in Yemen, Save the Children has warned. BBC reports that, rising food prices and the falling value of the Yemeni currency as a result of the conflict are putting more families at risk of food insecurity. But another threat comes from fighting around the key port city of Hudaydah, which is the entry point for most aid to the country's rebel-held areas. The charity says a total of 5.2 million children in Yemen now face famine. Ends BBC/MM
