Wednesday, 24 November 2021 (YJC)_ The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) said in a report that more than 1.3 million Yemenis will die by 2030 if the Yemeni conflict continues.
The United Nations has warned in a new report that more than 377,000 people have been killed so far as a result of the Saudi-led coalition's invasion of Yemen, and that this number will rise to more than 1.3 million by 2030.
According to the Al-Jazeera website, the report of the United Nations Development Program, published on Tuesday, states that 70% of those killed in these clashes are children under the age of five.
The report adds that 60% of the total number of victims of the rape died indirectly due to starvation and preventable diseases, and the rest died during the struggle or by the bombing of the Saudi-led coalition.
"Achim Steiner, director of the United Nations Development Program, said:
In the case of Yemen, we believe that the number of people who lost their lives as a result of the conflict is higher than those who died on the battlefield.
In addition to providing statistics on the crimes of the Saudis and their allies, the new UN report predicts a "terrible" future for the war-torn country.
The report warns that if the conflict in Yemen continues, by 2030, about 1.3 million Yemenis will die, 70 percent of which will be due to indirect causes, including overpricing and loss of services. The primary will be human.
The report also adds that by 2030, the number of malnourished Yemenis will reach 9.2 million and the number of those living in absolute poverty will reach 22 million, or 65% of the country's population.
The report says that if the Yemeni conflict stops immediately, it will take a generation (until 2047) to get out of extreme poverty, and by 2025, the rate of malnutrition among Yemenis will be halved.
