Now, 285 million people around the world face the threat of starvation, which makes it more difficult to attend to Yemen&#8217;s needs, he added.<br>\u201cWe&#8217;ve got twice the number of people struggling around the world now,\u201d Beasley said. \u201cSo, what am I gonna do for the children in Yemen? Steal it from the children in Ethiopia, or Afghanistan, or Nigeria or in Syria? That\u2019s not right,\u201d he added.<br>Beasley said his agency was forced to cut rations in half for eight million Yemenis due to the shortage of funds.<br>\u201cWe may be cutting those down to zero. What do you think will happen? People will die.
