UN envoy warns al Qaeda has gained ground in Yemen

The UN envoy to Yemen warned Wednesday of a growing humanitarian crisis in the country, where 6.8 million people have been left without enough food during months of political turmoil that has allowed al-Qaida on the Arabian Peninsula to gain ground.

 

He said Yemen has the second highest rate of chronic child malnutrition in the world and warned that 500,000 children are likely to die from malnutrition or suffer life-long consequences this year if adequate support isn't provided. (AP)
