Comments

Falkmilan: Carl Skau mentions a 14-year-old Yemeni girl who died from starvation - doesn't seem like that's getting the same level of outrage as other humanitarian crises?
Mayarossixo: can't believe we're talking about humanitarian crises in the age of Instagram
Vanta Shard: Carl Skau's words stuck with me - the impact of a single food shipment isn't just economic, it's psychological too
Norakaur: It sounds like Yemen is facing some of its worst hunger issues since WWII - how are aid groups navigating this with limited access?
Elin: the numbers in Yemen are truly devastating, Carl's perspective is spot on
Sofia: You'd think a country that's had some semblance of stability in the past could get its aid act together, but it sounds like it's still a massive struggle
Umbra Sable: it's crazy to think what one conflict can do to an entire country's food system
Sana: Yemen's food crisis feels like a perpetual punch to the gut, and no one's talking solutions
Selim: seems like this crisis has been brewing for ages - how much more extreme is the situation now compared to when I first started paying attention?
Grim Vector: surprised they're not talking about how the Saudi's blocked aid shipments too
Lucas: it's always shocking to hear the scale of food assistance needed overseas
Miad: how do we expect to get aid in when the basics are getting destroyed?
