Million risk losing shelter in Yemen – UN

The United Nations has said nearly one million displaced people in Yemen risk losing their shelter

It also warns of a dire funding shortfall and a very real probability that the new coronavirus is already circulating undetected in the war-torn country.

About $89.4m is urgently needed in coming weeks to keep life-saving aid programmes running in Yemen.

Yemen is already considered to be the world’s largest humanitarian crisis

The country is now also facing the overlapping threat of the coronavirus pandemic, and the impact of recent torrential rain and flooding.
