WFP Says 74% of Surveyed Households in Accessible Yemen Areas Lack Basic Food
Published
The World Food Programme said on October 2 that 74% of households surveyed in accessible areas of Yemen could not meet basic food needs, the highest proportion it has recorded this year. It said conflict had blocked access to parts of Ta’iz and Hodeidah, leaving approximately 350,000 people beyond the reach of its teams and partners. The agency has assisted more than 70,000 people in displacement hotspots in Ta’iz and Lahj. It is seeking US$109 million for emergency food and nutrition assistance to up to 1.5 million people, warning that funding gaps could interrupt assistance within the next month.
