Netherlands for the World Bank published an article stating that Yemen is one of the most food insecure countries in the world. About 20 million Yemenis—70% of the population—are facing hunger, a 13% increase from 2017. An estimated 2 million children—about 50% of the children under the age of five—were suffering from acute malnutrition; 350,000 were severely malnourished. Research by IFPRI indicates that cash transfer programs that provide homes with financial support to purchase food have succeeded in reducing acute malnutrition in Yemen.
