The humanitarian crisis in Yemen, already the world’s worst, will deteriorate in 2019, the UN said on Tuesday, warning that the number of people needing food aid is set to jump by four million.
The grim forecast for the embattled country came as the United Nations humanitarian office OCHA released its projected needs assessments for next year.
“The country with the biggest problem in 2019 is going to be Yemen,” OCHA chief Mark Lowcock told reporters in Geneva.
