The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned on that society in Yemen is succumbing to a slow death due to mass hunger and malnutrition.

“Three years after the start of the war, life for residents is indescribably miserable due to the way the conflict is being fought.” the statement said

“The desperate needs of families would shrink, and so would disease, malnutrition and civilian deaths, if the mere basics of international humanitarian law were observed,” noted the ICRC’s Regional Director for the Near and Middle East, Robert Mardini.
