Briefing by Mr. Mark Lowcock, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator (OCHA), on the situation in the Middle East (Yemen).
On the humanitarian front, Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock said that despite the agreement, “I cannot yet report to you that the wider humanitarian situation in Yemen is any better. It remains catastrophic.”
He said, “more than 24 million people now need humanitarian assistance – that’s 80 percent of the population. They include nearly 10 million people just a step away from famine.”
Lowcock said “commercial food imports in December plummeted to just 163,000 metric tons, which in fact is the lowest figure recorded since UNVIM began monitoring in July 2016,” and added this is deeply concerning in an environment where a serious threat of famine persists.”
