Yemen, the most serious humanitarian crisis of our time.
The country is exhausted and the suffering suffered by the population has reached levels never seen before. The figures speak for themselves: 20.7 million people need humanitarian aid to survive.
Over 4 million people have been forced to flee their homes and are now displaced within national borders.
The escalation of the conflict has led to a dramatic increase in the prices of food and other raw materials.
Consequently, the main problem right now is the lack of food: around 16 million people suffer from hunger.
In some areas of the country, about 1 in 4 children suffer from acute malnutrition.
Guests:
- Annalisa Camilli, journalist of Internazionale
- Marco Rotunno, Senior Cluster Coordination Officer di UNHCR in Yemen
Moderate:
- Laura Iucci, UNHCR Italy fundraising director
