More than 2.3 million children under the age of five in Yemen suffer from acute malnutrition. Approximately 450,000 are expected to suffer from severe acute malnutrition and may die if they do not receive urgent treatment. In this context, without security, stability, and better access for farmers to have the means to resume growing food, children and their families continue to sink deeper and deeper into hunger and malnutrition. As a result, malnourished children are more vulnerable to illnesses, including diarrhea, respiratory infections, and malaria, which are a major concern in Yemen. This situation is a vicious and often deadly cycle.
在也门，有超过 230 万五岁以下儿童患有急性营养不良。约有 45 万儿童预计会患有严重急性营养不良，如果得不到紧急治疗，他们可能会死亡。在这种情况下，如果没有安全、稳定，以及农民获得恢复种植食物手段的更好机会，儿童及其家庭将继续陷入饥饿和营养不良的困境中。结果，营养不良的儿童更容易感染疾病，包括腹泻、呼吸道感染和疟疾，这些疾病在也门是一个主要的关切。这种情况是一个恶性的、往往是致命的循环。
