24 million Yemenis need help to survive: UN

The United Nations announced Wednesday that 24 million Yemeni citizens need help to survive.

The United Nations, at the same time, pointed out that the Saudi regime-led coalition's methods of starving Yemenis were war crimes.

Starting on 26 March 2015, the Saudi regime launched an offensive against Yemen, forming a coalition with the support of some Arab regimes.

The Saudi regime, which wants to surrender the people of this country to its own policies and prevent the formation of an independent government, has so far caused the death and injury of thousands of people.

The attacks also left Yemen's infrastructure 80 percent unusable.

The country's economy has completely collapsed

The situation is getting worse in the country, which has been hit by a humanitarian crisis because of the conflicts.

About 24 million people, 80 percent of the population, are in need of assistance.

In the country where health, nutrition, and basic needs cannot be met, $ 4.2 billion is needed every month to meet basic needs.

At least 10 million people live on the edge of famine in Yemen, while 7 million people are malnourished, according to the U. N. Office for the Coordination of humanitarian aid.

Access to health care across the country is extremely restricted. Hundreds of medical facilities were closed, damaged or completely destroyed during the clashes.

Epidemics, especially cholera, are increasing every day due to lack of access to clean water, malnutrition, deficiencies in medicines and medical supplies.

The country's economy has completely collapsed. While 90 percent of food, fuel, and medical needs have been imported, the country's currency has been severely undervalued, making it difficult to afford.

While the country cannot afford to pay public employees, the price of everything goes up with hunger.

In a country where attacks on hospitals, schools and basic infrastructure are commonplace, the public is in a state of complete desperation.

A UN report on Yemen released on Tuesday details a host of possible war crimes committed by various parties to the conflict over the past five years, including through airstrikes, indiscriminate shelling, snipers, landmines, as well as arbitrary killings and detention, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and the impeding of access to humanitarian aid in the midst of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

The Group of International and Regional Eminent Experts on Yemen, created by the UN Human Rights Council, found that the governments of Yemen and the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, as well as the Houthis and affiliated popular committees, have enjoyed a "pervasive lack of accountability" for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
