DW: Yemen faces 'catastrophic' conditions, says UN
After three years of war, the Middle East country faces a growing risk of famine and cholera, the UN has warned. Warring parties have continued a "destructive pattern of zero-sum politics," said the outgoing UN envoy.
UN aid operations chief John Ging on Tuesday said living conditions in Yemen are "catastrophic" following three years of conflict.
Ging said Yemen, considered the world's worst humanitarian crisis, faces a growing risk of famine and cholera.
