Millions in Yemen threatened by aid blockade, campaigners say

Millions of Yemenis face the risk of death as aid deliveries cannot get to those in need because of the continuing blockade of the war-ravaged country by the Saudi-led coalition, the head of the World Food Programme in the country has said.

Speaking by telephone from Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, Stephen Anderson said it is "heartbreaking" that millions depended on sustained access to humanitarian aid.
