CARE: “Attack on Hodeidah multiplies horror and death in Yemen”

As the offensive on the key Yemeni port of Hodeidah has begun, CARE International in Yemen warns that this will have a catastrophic impact on the civilian population. The civil war in Yemen has already cost the lives of more than 10,000 people and is labelled as today’s worst humanitarian disaster. More than 22 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection, more than 8 million people already face the risk of starvation.
