Nearly half of Yemeni children under five are underweight, and some 58% grow up stunted due to a limited diet. What will become of this poverty-stricken state if the international community fails to act fast?
"Our daily life is not ok", Mariam struggles every day to find enough to feed her family; until recently a UN program gave wheat in exchange for schooling. But funding was cut, and now the girls must work or go hungry. The West is well aware of Yemen's reputation as a haven for Al-Qaeda, but what do we know of the human suffering? "The government of Yemen, at the risk of seeing its people die of hunger, refused to issue an appeal on account of national pride", economist Aryani explains that those in power are turning their backs on the growing number of hungry and poor. Decades of development work has been wiped away by the 'Triple F' crisis: soaring food prices, plunging fuel revenues, and the financial crisis drying up remittances of Yemenis abroad. As to the tense political situation; Giancarlo Cirri of the World Food Programme warns: "the destabilising role of hunger should not be underestimated". With a third of Yemen's 23 million population now desperate for food, aid is urgently needed to counteract this deadly spiral into poverty.

Please stop having 10 kids if you can't feed them. The government should hand out free contraception.
Honey Bee1017 shut you wicked Christian idolatry ass up just like a wicked fart to say that to those Israelites
I truly don't understand these people. Why have 14 kids when you can't even feed yourself. Setting them up for failure and misery.
Why don't you ask them why they do it rather than formulating ideas?
ohh my god plz plz and plzzz help poors all around the world... pray from an indian hindu...
ffs stop having so many kids.
Must be the will of Allah.
Just a Man you're fucked up! Get some help and a life.
inxs fansydney People refuse to learn.
I appreciate the very thorough job that journeyman pictures did with this by showing that there are so many different sides going on and yet while all of these political discussions and debates are happening People. Are. Still. Starving. The final statement was the most poignant one: while talks are continuing to be discussed over and over and over and over and over and over, feed the people. Period.
Or simply stop having children.
wtf a child factory 2 wifes and 10 daughters Plus 4 sons omg. and they complain about being poor
naju332 #FACTS
There is no birth control
And another 1 is ready to step out....🤣😂😅😆
As-Salaam-Alaikum, I will keep you in my prayers brother, may Allah bless you with many more and food and water for all of your family to never hunger or thirst again! Al-humdulillah!
Do they even teach them about the importance of contraception?? So sad that they're having kids like crazy
It doesn't matter if it's Yemen or Chicago, these people all seem to think it's someone else's responsibility to take care of their children instead of theirs. If you can't afford a child, DON'T HAVE ONE or 5 or 10 or 19!
ProudToBe AnAmerican ok well they don't have birth control for God sakes!
danni girl also it makes sense to have alot of children because one might make it. its not like they have the luxury westerners have . they are faced with the possibility that their line may not survive so they .must procreate. westerners ate so cool about not having children like . yeah its cool if my family doesnt survive i dont understand that mentality. surely its better to be poor and survive than just die out ?? . that is why they have alot of children . also yes no birth control but theu wouldnt take the birth control fpr that reason..
Yes they do! It's called anal sex.
Why people think yemen people are bad we are people
@@titaniumtits1854 It is NOT best to procreate. Their quality of life is terrible. Birth control is a simple remedy & there are many natural methods to accomplish this. Education on decreasing population would be helpful.
They need to grow food instead of Khat.
Derek Stynes the govt issued grants to farmers to grow produce and the farmers refused
@@912deborah do you know how much land and farms you can buy if you rich asf let just say Elon musk or famous celebrity just imagine if one of the. Just decided to buy everything and make laws and jobs and change culture to the point you won’t even realize it’s Yemen
@@youngo.k5493 you cant just buy a country thats not how it works. Are you a kid?
I tried to be nice. Tried to be empathetic, sympathetic, and everything else, but the more I see babies crying, children sent off to labor and marriage, and adults using religion and culture as a reason why this is continuing, the matter I get, so forget being nice. The Frank matter is that patience is a virtue. If you can't find or a Ford contraception, wait until you are on your feet to have sex. in the meantime, keep it in your clothes. It's not a hard concept. The fact that babies are starving and children either have to do hard labor or get married is the fault of the parents.
my grand father may be 6 grand father ago 17 century came from Yemen, would love to visit there, al amry too
Wow! How did you find that out? Did your grandfather tell you that?
Lots of us would visit the cou9but it's far too dangerous!! I don't think Americans can even enter
At what point does someone take personal responsibility after having 20+ kids? Knowing damn well you can barely rub 2 pennies together.
@Roselyne Walter that's now how human nature works. Holding uneducated peopel responsible is not the way in these cases. Setting up systems to help and teach them mot to is the way. Humans are like rats without education they breed lol
You are missing the concept of realities of worlds. You are blinded under the pantheon of Christianity which is why you view them in such a way and will think of ways to resolve this issue with the mind of a Christian, but you can't see yourselves in the light you stand under.
@@KaizorianEmpire wrong perception yet, again.
@@wealthymansourladyempire8752 I believe it's more about education and awareness. You can't enroll religion onto it.
I agree, these fools around the world need to quit making babies. Especially when the world is so over crowded and polluted and full of powerful toxic weapons and millions of men who are trained and will kill at the drop of a hat in order to acquire more resources in order to keep their own people and self interests going. The problems we face in the future are insurmountable. War, disease, starvation and natural and man made disasters will prevail. We can't even feed the people who are already here. So quit making babies just because its fun and feels good. Oh never mind the race with the most people might have a chance to wipe the other races out so they can rule the world. Its called colonialism and conqueoring.. Most of the land on this planet cannot sustain a family for weeks.
WHY IN GOD'S NAME DO THEY HAVE SO MANY KIDS IF THEY CAN'T FEED THESE POOR CHILDREN??? Buy birth control instead of Okra!!!!
Kay Lee fuck you bitch with ur birth control
Hunky Bully254 .... Lol
they cant afford food where do the get money to buy birth pills
Condoms would be cheaper
MY Dear they don't even have money to safe life's I am a muslim I give charity to these countries I see them on our Islamic channels especially in the month of Ramadan
God bless these beautiful people even if they died from famine they will have a place in your heart that you will save them and protect them like you said you would
She said, if they die it is the will of God, if they live it is the will of God, that is powerful.
4:03, looks more like "hilba" ("fenugreek relish") than it does okra. May God help these poor people.
Thank you for sharing!! I wish I had money to travel there.. I would volunteer and give the less fortunate a chance at a good future. I'm no teacher but I'm sure they would be very appreciated for anything. I wanna help ppl around the world . I feel like that is my life's purpose. . But I may never get that chance. But one thing I do know, is that I appreciate everything I have in my life. I may not be rich or pretty or smart or a perfect mom and wife. Or even live in a mansion. But I do wake up every morning. I have a roof over my families head and food on the table and thee bestest husband \Baby daddy\ best friend\my soulmate.
It is sad.
The world needs to fight the right wars and get rid of the evil ppl ruining everything. God gave us all this to survive on and we have to pay for things we should be able to have free. When he returns they shall answer to him
why they that many children's if they have two then there is no food shortage !when they think alha is everything then they should ask there alha
So sad , #SaveYemen
Beautiful family and happy looking, I pray for the dad to have the strength and financial capacity to raise them into responsible adults
So said .
You don't have make so many babies . Nobody eill help you . Think!! "proud father".
Semoga allah memberkahi yar rob
How do they survive pregnancy in such conditions? Having babies in such conditions? Yet they all grow up and are fine. Most are better than those who recieved all the medical care in the world. There are rarely few inbetween handicap or ill babies born in these regions. Their illness has always been malnourished which was brought upon them as a project.
Because they dont eat junk food. These people who grow up poor are made of strong stuff. Their in the sun always working so they never get sick.
This video link explains why famine happens in Yemen. m.kzhead.info/sun/Z96Mmqxuoat8mJs/bejne.html
And this is in 2010 which means before the war so you could imagine how bad their country is in 2021
Stop having babies. I'm sure that with the culture that isn't as easy as it sound but the heads of state are saying the state can feed our people, so why aren't you. This goes so far above pride. Your people are dying of hunger either feed them or reach out for help to get them the food. To me with my full belly and warm bed the solution seems simple, I'm sure it's not but come on world, can we not figure this out?
They are not dying of anything anymore than anywhere else in the 'developing' world. How is it that a woman can produce 10 children and be starving and malnourished at the same time? It's not possible. That was filmed in 2010. The older children in the video now each have 8 to 10 children if they actually were that guy's children which I doubt. He just went around collecting teen aged girls dressed all in black. And they are all of them still starving. You believe that? They can rely on western donors to provide all the food they need for the subsequent generations.
"don't have children until you are on your feet." it's not a complicated concept. if you do things that way, there will be no little boys forced into hard labor or a little girls forced into marriage. no tiny babies screaming for the littlest bit of sustenance. get your heads in the damn game.
If i have chance i want to volenter to teach them for education....
British people are starving hear and the UK government don't give a toss
This is Fatima, this is... err... doesn't matter
Another depiction of people being ethically inept.
Yea why are they having so many babies?
Cuz it’s what humans do?
@@actuallyanubis responsible humans have as much children they can provide for. Animals have babies without thinking.
Say bro I’m trying fix Yemen to hit me up in future everything going change even culture
Let me help you all just accept my terms
Why when the Arabs state are so rich
Problem is those politician fighting for the power, this people are suffering because of them. They should jailed
People are suffering because they keep having babies despite no money, no work, no food, etc. They need to take personal responsibility; you don't have children when you can't feed them and you have your own children dying of starvation! It is common sense, and selfish! Stop crying that the world needs to help you out and bring you food and money; the only thing you should get is birth control!
@@janemoore4395 You can't understand why, can you? But I don't blame you.
Why can't they grow food, do dates not grow derr
In the name of Allah 15+children 😁😁😁
نحن بحاجة إلا اخراج الافارقة من بلادنا اليمن
I know why afraid them cause they are abrha race
I think this documentary is one sided. Show more families and get different perspectives
This isn't one sided, there are worse families than this. And it's only getting worse as long as the war is going on
Wont let his daughter go to school unless she brings wheat back in return . The schoolis for their own good .they will benefit from it .they only ever look to the very shorterm not many years later when daughter can become doctor and bring money back ect .would rather her stay at home and xo housework
We must send them food and water.
What he is doing is wrong...why we have stepped in and taken over.
im sure the arms dealers/manufacturers have lots of spare cash to throw around, how about hit them up for a donation
build the wall
It’s always the same old story, too many children, when will they adopt family planning and get the population under control.
They dont have a choice! I hate when people from developed countries shame the poor for having too many kids. That's how they survive!
@@user-xd6em2zv6b They believe their "way of life" is far superior than others.
they shoul hng all the people in power
I feel bad,but you know you don't have money. Why do you have so many wives and children Ver sad
They need to. the more kids you have then they will grow up and provide income. The less kids you have the less money you need.
@@user-xd6em2zv6b Not in my Country.
@@rhonapeterson514 where do you live?
@@user-xd6em2zv6b Most of these children don't make it to age 5, so no, having more kids is not the answer. Selfish to have kids when you can't feed and nourish them ,just to watch them die a slow death.
…and yet they have money for bombs and weapons!?🤦🏽♀️
You are such an ignorant individual.
he has a beautiful family 👪
abdul raheem What's the point of having a beautiful family if they will only die of hunger. And the children suffer the most. Ridiculous. People just breed without using their brains.
Para que tantos hijos??? Si ya saben el fin que van a tener! No les den comida, denles preservativos!
The elders chew Khat all day
But not them, they can't afford that
All because of saudi
YEMEN ASK YOUR ISLAM NEIGHBORS FOR HELP THEY LOVE YOU THEY HAVE ALOT OF MONEY AND OIL

I'm sure the American Native Indians did not vote for someone like Hillary when their nation was stolen from them by white people.
Negativity and racism wouldn't get you anywhere.

Las year we went to Mexico for vacations, and it was a great experience, but this year I am taking all my family to this beautiful country of Yemen. We are going to to all cities.
Birth control.

People rise up and shake off their oppressors, or, lay down and die while watching their children perish from hunger. I WILL NOT support doing FOR them what they should be doing for themselves. That's my policy around the globe. Your nation is killing you? Do something about it. People come to try to help the situation, and the "oppressed" would kill THEM!
سرقة الشعوب واثارهم باسم الإغاثة
Disgusting
What is?
Alot of these people are not yemeni, but planted there from other areas of black Africa.
They are pure yemeni. Their just so dark from the sun.
They live in a desert and so they are darker
