Human Rights Watch says Saudi Arabia’s relentless airstrikes have pushed Yemen into a “deep humanitarian catastrophe.”    

The rights group’s communications and advocacy director for the Middle East & North Africa, Ahmed Benchemsi, made the remarks during an interview with RT on Sunday.  

“More than 3 million people have been displaced in Yemen and more than 80 percent are relying on some form of humanitarian aid.” Yemen has the highest rate of child malnutrition in the world now and it is estimated that one in five persons are in severe food insecurity.”
