The
heads of three UN agencies issued a fresh plea on Thursday for the
Saudi-led military coalition to lift its blockade on Yemen.
Without
aid shipments, “untold thousands of innocent victims, among them
many children, will die,” the heads of the World Food Program,
UNICEF and the World Health Organization said.
One
million children are at risk from a fast-spreading diphtheria
outbreak, and even if the blockade is only partially lifted, an
additional 3.2 million people will be pushed into hunger, the joint
statement said, as cited by Reuters.
