The organization reported that malnutrition among children has reached critical levels, endangering countless lives due to worsening humanitarian conditions.
Between January and October this year, Doctors Without Borders treated 3,099 cases of malnutrition-related complications, including 3,061 cases of severe acute malnutrition and 38 cases of moderate acute malnutrition.
These children, aged between one month and 14 years, received treatment at Abs General Hospital in Hajjah Governorate. Additionally, the organization treated 294 cases of severe acute malnutrition and 130 cases of moderate acute malnutrition among infants and children aged 1 to 59 months at Al-Qanawis Maternity and Childhood Hospital in Hodeidah.
Doctors Without Borders has called on donors and humanitarian organizations to increase their support for malnutrition relief efforts, particularly for the most vulnerable populations.
The widespread malnutrition crisis is a direct consequence of the US-Saudi ongoing blockade and war on Yemen, which has created one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history.
The situation has been exacerbated by the World Food Program’s abrupt suspension of food aid to more than 9 million Yemeni families last year in areas under the Sana'a government’s control. This reduction in aid is reportedly linked to US pressures aimed at limiting Yemeni military operations supporting the Palestinian cause.
