The head of the UN food agency is warning that 16 million people in Yemen “are marching towards starvation”, adding that food rations for millions in the war-torn nation will be cut in October unless new funding arrives.
David Beasley said on Wednesday at a high-level meeting on Yemen’s humanitarian crisis that the United States, Germany, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and other donors stepped up when the World Food Programme (WFP) was running out of money earlier this year and “because of that we averted famine and catastrophe”.

How much of the food already sent has actually reached those who most need it. I have no idea, but suspect not much, depending on what kind of oversight is involved. It really sucks, but feeding people who are actually not victims of famine but of corrupt government(s) does NOTHING to allieviate, let alone solve, the problem. It's akin to treating gangrene with bandages. Come to think of it, that's the UN's recommended treatment for just about every illness.
No one cares
