SANAA, July 30 (YPA) – The number of Yemenis in need of humanitarian assistance has reached 24.1 million, as the Saudi-led war and the UAE have continued since March 2015, according to a recent UN report.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a report that malnutrition continues to have a significant impact on the well-being of millions of Yemenis.
