A top United Nations (UN) official says the conflict in Yemen has pushed the country to the brink of famine.
Ertharin Cousin, Head of the World Food Programme (WFP) said that markets in the country do not have enough food to feed the population and nearly 13 million people urgently require help.
She added that aid agencies are also unable to reach areas of need, because of the ongoing violence.
The conflict has involved Houthi rebel fighters clashing with forces loyal to the Yemeni Government and its allies.
