Nearly half of Yemen's population faces severe food shortages. 19.5 million of them are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. And a large scale famine is looming. Yemen's woes are almost never ending. Decades of instability and conflict have caused widespread devastation. The war on Gaza has only worsened the situation.

The US strikes which have increased since President Donald Trump took over in January, will now stop. The Houthis have agreed to stop striking at American ships.
