Saudi Arabia has signed a series of deals to provide more than $200 million in funding to United Nations aid agencies operating in Yemen, just days after a CNN investigation highlighted a crisis in aid funding for the war-stricken nation.
The investigation revealed that support pledged to UN agencies by Saudi Arabia for Yemen had more than halved in 2020, falling from more than $1 billion to just $500 million this year. Of this amount, the UN told CNN only $23 million had so far come through its appeal.The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre announced the additional Saudi funding in a televised statement Friday.
The WFP also estimates that more than 66% of people in Yemen are considered"food insecure" and that more than 14 million of them could die if they are no longer able to access food assistance from aid groups operating in the country. .m-infographic--1600111617809 { background: url no-repeat 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-top: 213.
