MSF Calls for Urgent Aid as Yemen's Malnutrition Crisis Deepens

The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is worsening, with malnutrition rates soaring and treatment capacity unable to meet the growing demand, as highlighted by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). The organization has issued urgent calls for increased international financial support, citing a drastic decline in humanitarian funding that has severely impacted essential programs. MSF's head of operations, Himedan Mohammed, warned that without immediate action to boost nutrition programs and improve healthcare access, the situation could deteriorate further. Hospitals are overwhelmed, with some facilities experiencing bed occupancy rates exceeding 200%. The ongoing conflict between Houthi forces and the Saudi-backed government continues to exacerbate these challenges, leaving many vulnerable, especially children. MSF emphasizes the need for swift international intervention to address this critical health emergency.
