- Hunger Kills a Yemeni Child Under 5 Every 10 minutes in Yemen
Middle East Information, New Media and Technology, Al Bawaba. November 24th, 2019
The Yemeni minister of public health and population says it is estimated that every 10 minutes a child under
the age of five dies from extreme hunger in the conflict-plagued and impoverished Arab country, warning that
the ongoing Saudi-led blockade is also taking a heavy toll on newborn babies.

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is designed to comprehensively
measure and track hunger globally and by country and region.
Calculated each year by the International Food Policy Research
Institute (IFPRI), the GHI highlights successes and failures in
hunger reduction and provides insights into the drivers of hunger.
By raising awareness and understanding of regional and country
differences in hunger, the GHI aims to trigger actions to reduce
hunger.
On February 20, 2017, the world awoke to a headline that should
have never come about: Famine had been declared in parts of South
Sudan, the first to be announced anywhere in the world in six
years. This was on top of imminent famine warnings in northern
Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen, putting a total of 20 million people
at risk of starvation. The formal famine declaration in South Sudan
meant that people were already dying of hunger. Meanwhile,
Venezuela's political turmoil created massive food shortages in
both the city and countryside, leaving millions without enough to
eat in a region that, overall, has low levels of hunger. As the
crisis there escalated and food prices soared, the poor were the
first to suffer.
