During 2016, more than 117,000 refugees arrived in war-stricken Yemen, according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), despite the escalating conflict there.
More than 460,000 children in Yemen are “at high risk of death” due to severe and acute malnutrition, according to a senior official with the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Yemen’s entire health system is “on the brink of collapse” according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which is deploying medical teams to help thousands of newly displaced civilians.
