UN warns of dire food situation in Yemen's Taiz |
|
The UN World Food Programme on Friday appealed for safe access to the Yemeni city of Taiz, saying that fighting between warring factions had blocked food supplies and left thousands of people in extreme hunger.
The last U.N. food aid to reach Taiz, Yemen's third city, was more than five weeks ago when food was distributed to nearly 240,000 people, it said.
"We plead for safe and immediate access to the city of Taiz to prevent a humanitarian tragedy as supplies dwindle, threatening the lives of thousands - including women, children and the elderly," WFP regional director Muhannad Hadi said in a statement.
