YEMEN -WHICH- YEMEN?

SANAA: UN appeals for $3 billion to save millions in Yemen.

The United Nations on Sunday made what it said was record appeal for aid to Yemen, calling for nearly $3 billion in humanitarian relief for its war-torn country.

The $2.96 billion will be used to respond to an ever-broadening crisis in Yemen, where war, looming famine and cholera have killed Thousands and put millions of lives at risk.

The appeal, made on behalf of UN agencies and humanitarian partners, came as 11.3 million people  ''urgently require assistance to survive,'' UN aid agency OCHA said in a statement.

''A generation of children/students is growing up in suffering and deprivation,'' OCHA said.

''Nearly two million students/children are out of school. 1.8 million children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, including 400,000 who suffer from severe acute malnutrition are 10 times more likely to die if they they do not receive medical treatment.

More than 9,200 people have been killed in Yemen since 2015.

Another nearly 2,200 Yemenis have died of cholera amid deteriorating conditions the World Health Organization says.

More than three-quarters of Yemen's population 22.2 million people -are now dependent on some form of assistance, the United Nation says.

In 2017, international donors provided $1.65 billion of the $2,34 billion requested by the United Nations and humanitarian partners in Yemen.
