UN: Although aid increases in Yemen, core issues are getting worse
The United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, called for supporting the economy in Yemen and achieving peace.
“Despite the increase in aid in Yemen, the underlying issues are getting worse,” Griffiths said on Twitter.
“Millions have been affected by the crisis, while women and girls bear the brunt,” he added.
He added, “Despite the importance of aid, it cannot alone solve these problems. We also need to support the economy, and most importantly, peace.”
Until the end of 2021, the war resulted in the deaths of about 377,000, directly and indirectly, and Yemen’s economy lost 126 billion dollars, in one of the worst humanitarian and economic crises in the world, according to the United Nations.
