U.N.'s World Food Programme Forced to Cut Back Yemen Aid Due to Funds Shortage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The World Food Programme warns the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen
is likely to worsen as the group has been forced to cut aid due to a
lack of funds. The eight-year-long conflict between U.S.-backed,
Saudi-led forces and Houthi rebels has killed some 377,000 people,
according to the U.N., internally displaced another 4 million and put 16
million Yemenis on a path to starvation.
