U.N. Says 8 Million Yemenis Could Lose All Humanitarian Aid Next Month Due to Funding Shortages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N. is warning around two-thirds of aid programs in Yemen had to be
slashed or closed last month and that continued lack of funding could
mean 8 million Yemenis will lose all humanitarian assistance by next
month. Meanwhile, new fronts have opened in the Saudi-led, U.S.-backed
war that has led to the world's worst humanitarian disaster. Over 650
civilians were killed in January alone, the highest recorded death toll
in at least three years.
