Yemen: Aid Officials in "Race Against Time" to Prevent Famine
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Yemen, aid officials said Monday they're in a race against time to
prevent a famine brought on by a U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war and
blockade. The executive director of the World Food Programme said his
agency had just three months' worth of food stored and that officials
were only able to provide hungry Yemenis with about a third of the
rations they need.
