Yemen is at risk of the worst famine the world has seen in decades according to the United Nations.
The UN is warning that 16 million people will go hungry this year, including 400,000 children, who will suffer from severe acute malnutrition and could die without urgent treatment.
Yemen was already the Arab world’s poorest country before its civil war escalated in 2015. Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, control most of the country.
A Saudi-led coalition which is backed by the UK has been carrying out a bombing campaign, in support of Yemen’s internationally-recognised government.
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by international correspondent Orla Guerin.

There's an abundance of food in the world we're choosing to let them die..
Abundance? i don't think so Just type famine or hunger or poverty, even US region face hunger crisis during this pandemic
@@kosakata8632 there is in fact abundant food, but the problem in these countries is economic.
@@canaldofred2366 America wasted so much food
@@LouisIreland and so did Canada,.and so did Europe, and so did Asia, and so did South America, and so did Australia. Every country wastes a lot of food. And if these countries ate all of their food, what difference would it make to Africa??
@@Lillio_ when did I say Africa was 1 country? The fact is, that the vast majority of people in Africa are extremelly poor, and a considerable amount of them have very little food.
A question I make myself for decades What is the bloody united nations for?! Is this the world we created...
We've created a living nightmare based on profit, greed and living life like a competition. That's all that life is because we made it that way
@We Are Plasma Does everything only exist in initials?
The UN prevents 1st and 2nd rate world powers from fighting each other by providing a stable diplomatic forum. In that respect it has worked just about perfectly.
@@alanli2404 You gotta be kidding, Right? Are you having a laugh?
You say we...
in wars its always the civilian's that suffer the most.
sad reality
Of course my friend
No shit?
@@tacbleded202 thhe was just pointing out a tragic fact
WW1 debatable though
sad very sad all the rich Arab countries should help yemen so sad to see so much suffering
@d the best arab is a not a religion
@d the best I don't judge people by their religion , whatever tehy are muslims christians or jews ! If people who call themselves now muslims follow the teaching lf Islam the world would have been much better
arabs are the ones starving yemen with the blockade
@d the best Europe invaded Arab countries in the first place so stop playing the victim , go to college
Its the rich Arab countries who are bombing them....
Truly devastating.
I have no words to describe my sorrow for these children and families. This is why food should be free for people who dying of starvation.
Our spoiled American children should watch this in school...this is fantastic reporting
I was there when they were bombing our city while my mum was holding her 21 years old child , watching my dad and brother crying and was trying to memorize thier face if we die , then we traveled with our last money ,we lost everything there but at least i am lucky that my family alive . Those years trying to recover from it. I can't stop thinking about the people there if i could help them . sometimes you make a perfect world only in your imagination then you open your eyes to reality and it hurts 🥺
I'm so sorry Nadim. My heart aches while I read this. I pray that you and your family are in a better situation. Sending you love.
What city ?
Sell weapons and then raise slogans of humanity..👍
Yes, who is supplying sophisticated weapons to terrorists?

You posted this TOO LATE my friend
They’ve been reporting on the crisis for years. People just don’t seem to care very much
@RELIGIONS AIN'T RACE! tooooo late
So so sad the children suffer, yet if you donate....you donate to who? Because no one is helping and the government is corrupt.
When I can afford it, I give to doctors without borders and hope for the best
All the corruption made us loose our trust to the institutions. We need a transparent organisations to see where our donations go to. Above UN above anything else there should be just caring representatives of human kind!!
Red Cross
@@misunderstood2156 dream it
Caused by UAE and Saudi.
If she hadn’t had that poor baby, it wouldn’t be suffering. For heavens sake, stop having children if you can’t feed them.
You r dickhead bruv they want to start a new generation even if they can't afford they wanna have like 10 some of them might survive, if they have 1 or 2 what if they die of hunger but 5-10 is that at least you will have some survive
For many of these people contraceptives are not readily available
@@oliverbrett4900 true, unfortunately, neither is food nor medication. It’s a sad situation and easy for one to judge living in a “rich” country, but common sense should prevail for the good of the mother and the not yet conceived child. Better times will come when one can consider a family.
Help please, donate them ...
heartbreaking to watch these suffering children
Rest in peace little one 💜
Just their luck to be born on this world😪
Heart breaking. It was hard to watch. I do donate monthly. I hope it would help some how. I will keep praying for them.
How do you donate? Please let me know.
Financially monthly
@@jennifermyers775Thanks, but I meant, through which organization/person? If you could please provide a link...
Freedom Bakeries is where I donate to. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Thanks a lot.
This is simply heartbreaking..the world leaders and helping aid community must mitigate their traumatic situation.
So
Please save them May they be treated equal to me Please join hands for a united world so we can all help each other Please
So
Haven’t they been going through a famine for the past decade?
@@sebastianguerre6868 that's why Democratic republics work the best
@Jimmy Neuton and whys that u idiot
Yes
@nigel bray EXACTLY
@Jimmy Neuton you are such an idiot.
BBC ignored this for years why come out now I hate the BBC
Kindly appeal for internal funds so as ,even just one person could servive that would be our big achievement .
This is horrible someone's need to do a go fund me please children shouldn't not have to suffer like this
Please who have lots of money give them something you will be blessed l am also poor guy
Don't you know what's happening ? Yemen blocked every channel
The os a watch is a donate Yemen, video where the ad revenue is used to donate something monthly. The one by Haera... Ty The World Cares Yemen on fb.
so sad that parts of the world suffer like this
We need a new world order... no more wars... no borders separating people from others... all resources pooled together used sustainably... no third world countries... think about it if we worked as one... we’d get to colonise Mars so much sooner and do many other great things.!
Mens fault
Destroyed every thing in Yemen ,Syria, Iraq.
And don’t forget Libya...
I dont understand .... what do they want from those countries that they need to keep killing and terrosing the people🤨
@@lauriannajones excuse me
@@lauriannajones money and power. Gaddafi was a terrible man but he revolutionised libya which would break them free from influence of "western countries". Same thing with Saddam Hussein. If you create wars you can sell guns. If you sell guns you make money.
@@mikhailgorbachev7851 I know Gaddafi was seen as a threat as soon as he said he wanted to bring Africa together with one african currency
When I can afford it, I give to doctors without borders and hope for the best
Red cross
www.npr.org/2015/06/03/411524156/in-search-of-the-red-cross-500-million-in-haiti-relief?t=1614352506809 The Red Cross are one of the worst offenders when it comes to the misappropriation of funds. Doctors without borders/Medicions San Frontiers, are stripped down and the money goes to only two things, Doctors travel expenses to and from the area they are sent and medical supplies. They do not decide where to help people based on politics but instead on where it is needed. Many large charities have been investigated for fraud but Doctors without borders have nowhere to hide money fraudulently as they only have two responsibilities. These other charities use fraudulent and unbelievable expense funds to syphon the money away from its true cause. The only other transparent charity is the Disasters Emergency Committee.
@@raspberrybellini damn that's opened my mind. I thought maybe some people didn't sell their souls for money
Shame on all Yemen is RICH NEIGHBORS!
Yes, and also to the countries who sell weapons to Saudi.
So what is UN doing
Thanks BBC for the report
One needs western weapons and several others need oil..while these poor people keep on suffering.
At the same time other countries waste food
Wasting food isn’t the issue. Food is abundant, even in Yemen. The issue is that the war completely ravaged the country and economy and they can’t afford food. And no one is really helping those who can’t afford it, at least not enough. In this case, Saudi Arabia and Iran are the main players to blame, not richer countries wasting food. How would you expect to get all that “wasted” food to these people anyway? Most of it is fresh, aka highly perishable, and would not last the journey, even if it were viable to ship everyone’s leftovers over there (which it’s not). It’s amazing to me how people still blame eachother (your average everyday civilians) for “inaction” instead of the governments that are not only blatantly allowing this to continue, but who caused it in the first place! But that’s exactly what the ones in power want you to do. 🙄
Still decided to have child in such chaos condition?
Let's not forget the UK is aiding this war and still doesn't take responsibility nor does the UK government care. Again the hunger crisis Happens because of the embargo/blockade not the war.
Other than trading with Saudi Arabia, how is the U.K. aiding this war? Trading with a country involved in a war isn’t supporting a war. It’s just trade.
@@Toby-yf7ze exactly
@@Toby-yf7ze They’re literally supplying arms to the Saudis
@@arunhundal2191 There's a difference between selling and giving. And the Saudi's would just buy those arms from other countries if they weren't buying them from the UK. Besides, there are two sides to that war and the Saudi's are only one of them, Iran and its allies are the other responsible party.
Girls
This is so fucked up it almost make you give up on people
Truly devastating. Whenever you feel sick, have a stomach ache or extremely thirsty, that's only a tiny proportion of the suffering.
If feeling very hungry hurts,I couldn't even imagine how is it to be constantly starving
God bless them.
Parents deciding to bring new life into such starvation is beyond my comprehension.
👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Things like greed and being bad mind causes death as we can clearly see it’s not always those stabbing someone that are murderers, murderers can use different tools like deceit, greed, lust for power sick sad world
Watching the small children suffer like this 😭 pray for them and may God always take care of them 🙏what world are we living in....when people are facing more difficulties and hardships
Heartbreaking
I do wish the BBC would turn off comments! They serve no positive purpose.
Dear USA, UK and Australia Stop sending Weapons to Saudi Arabia!
What about. Iran Russia China and others. Evil always ttys to blame the other side
@@martinmoyer2763 how about all the countries should stop providing weapons in saudi arabia and yemen?
They're on their own, the UN is already overwhelmed, the world is still struggling with the pandemic.
if only they had OIL reserves
So
Heartbreaking..
My homeland:(
Why would these mothers bring so many children into this on going war situation. The one mother already had 4 children she can not feed and then had 1 more, I just do not understand. I feel so sorry for these beautiful children.
i got the wrong link, anyone got that waterfall video?
My name is Abil, I am from SMK Bakti Nusa. Permission to comment🙏. Here I only hope for the Yemeni state that the war will end quickly, the people will be prosperous again and no more hunger and torture befall the people there
This is so sad wtf 😳
Honestly, if I had superhuman powers, if rid the world of corruption, starting with Saudi
We may be humans, but we are still animals
This is horrible 😩 my husband was born there and by chance got full citizenship by a lucky draw at a church. Him and his 3 sisters and mom and dad came here when he was 8. It breaks my heart thinking what could of been. I’m praying for the people of Yemen. May god bless them all 🙏❤
Thank you very much all my best personal regards,
Not understanding the other persons pain and sufferings is the one and only reason for all the tragedies happened in past and happening in present and going to be happening in future . But we have to do something to stop all this tragedies , so atleast our future people could live in peace without no war .
Why the fuck do people have children in these circumstances ?!
Heart broken
Nice report….so now what are you (bbc) we (public) gonna do about it??
Making weapons and filling up your arsenal doesn't make peace.
Come on world. Let's help.
So sad
Girl
Bit confused why they have kids if they going through extreme difficulty...maybe it because of lack of access to contraception
Ya..even I thought the same..when you can't feed yourself why to bring more lives on earth and make them suffer
No contraceptive options. Contraceptions cost alot of money or both couple don't even know. Religious people are very 🤐 when it comes to sex. It's such a taboo. Also they all hope that their children aren't going to be affected. Its very much 1840 when the industrial revolution happened. You see it happening everywhere there's poverty. The children eventually get work to help the family. We should be thankful for the luxuries we take for granted.
Awareness in the society about family planning shuld be a better way to reduce more young ones sufferings at these devestating situations. God bless.
Millions of people are in starvation but Everyday tonnes and tonnes of foods are simply going to dustbin .
The Bible said there would be famines and plagues in the last days..
There’s been famines throughout history so does that mean everyday in history is near the last days
The Bible says a lot of things....
Enjoy taking the Mark 😘
Proverbs 10:12: Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
BBC you did better job but what about those who are playing with such innocent lives just to meet their vested interests and satisfy so called ego? 😢
Stop having babies in poverty FFS. If you don't have the means to support a family then don't have a family.
How is this happening while the world watches? We have failed horribly.
Decades? Shit just don’t pop up over night. But you’ll hear nothin about the wars that produced these famines?
KEEP THIS TOPIC RELEVANT
thank you,UK,you did a great job
Even with lots of money, checks, balances, and stimulus, it will take a long time to fix
introducing my name Dhafa Ramadan from SMK Bakti Nusa comments, by seeing this very worrying state condition I hope other countries can help negera Yemen, both in terms of food, clothes, especially in terms of health
Stop war in Yemen
Why don't the adults look thin and starving? 1:42 2:56
May god have mercy on Yemen....
Oh my , the end was so hard to hear
KZhead addiction
Why are they still having children knowing they can't feed them?????
As if England hasn't picked on Yemen X[
It's sad that kids suffer the most.
Cause of men
If one person understand the feelings and sufferings of another person . Like everyone in the world understand other persons feelings there will be no war , killing ......etc So what are the steps we can do to understand other person feeling and pain ?
If the individual does not have food ... Destroy this world... Poet Bharathi
Could be facing? They have been starving for years...
Sad...
Well stop aiding and abetting it’s bombing, then.
This is sad....
How sad 😥 How we are ignoring people and on top of that , paying people to starve these people😢
I don't understand that, at this age children only drink their mother's milk. How can they starve?
When the mother herself is malnutritioned and starving.
Mum doesn't have enough milk of course
I feel satisfied that the man that murdered my friend escaped to Yemen
This is not acceptable why is this happening I am so disappointed and unhappy to see this I wish I could be able to help
Plumpy Nut will be the answer .... simply
nobody did anything and we are left dieing, sadly .
Oh my god
Look at what you done Saudi Arabia Israel and United Kingdom one day the blood of those you have shed will come back to you, God is building a case and when the judgement is inacted you will beg for mercy but you won't find it
Very sad.
We are all our brothers keepers..... We are part responsable....
BBC Send winston churchill he may help like how he helped Indians
BBC news, thank you for covering this topic. I want to give financial help but I don’t trust any of the NGOs anymore. Nor do I have faith in any of the well-known charities who claim they give aid during such crisis. So what am I do when I see news like this? I can’t go there in person and I can’t provide financial means to help those people out of lack of trust for those claiming to be helping them. It really hurts my heart.
God bless you.
This is very hard to watch.
she cant feed her children yet she keeps having children...
no contraception also when your kids die and you want kids you sorta have to have a lot of kids if you want one of them to live
Theres is a solution.. the F.E.D prints One Trillions US dollars, and Instead of Buying Stocks, give to Yemen Childrens.. ..
