750,000 Yemeni children hungry

In Yemen, a country of just 20 million people, the number of malnourished children under the age of five has raised to around 750,000, according to UNICEF.
"The number itself says it's a crisis," said Maria Calivis, the UNICEF director for Middle East and North Africa.
The aid agency appealed to the government and the international community to help develop the country's infrastructure to tackle the problem.
In some parts of the country the number of children suffering from malnutrition has doubled from what it was in 2000, said Calivis.
Ms Calivis said the figure crosses the "emergency threshold", an international standard calling for urgent action.
