New York - Saba
Yemen confirmed the increase in food insecurity in Yemen in light of the depletion of the government's ability to withstand due to the contraction of the national economy by half as a result of the war, and the continuation of the Houthi threat and terrorist attacks on vital economic facilities and oil ports, as the country lost nearly one and a half billion dollars since August of last year.

It was dedicated to improving public services and paying salaries throughout the country, not to mention the effects of developments in global events that exacerbated the food security crisis in Yemen and other countries affected by conflicts and climate challenges.

This came in Yemen's speech delivered by the Acting Permanent Representative of our country to the United Nations Minister Plenipotentiary Marwan Ali Noman during the high-level Security Council session on famine and food insecurity resulting from conflicts.

Yemen stressed the need to work to strengthen proactive measures to predict and prevent any crisis in the food supply through coordination and sharing of information and data between the various parties and the development of crisis analysis and immediate response mechanisms.
