TEHRAN, February 27 - The U.N. humanitarian chief is warning that conditions in Yemen are "catastrophic" after three years of war, with 22.2 million people needing aid.
TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The U.N. officials painted a dire picture of the Arab world's most impoverished country plunging into the world's worst humanitarian crisis and facing massive destruction as a result of what special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed called the parties' continuing "destructive pattern of zero-sum politics."
Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Mark Lowcock warned the Security Council that "famine remains a real threat."
Cheikh Ahmed disclosed that a peace agreement had been about to be reached, but the parties refused to sign at the last minute. He called for fresh negotiations.
