More than 17 million people in conflict-torn Yemen are going hungry, including over a million children under the age of 5 who are suffering from ''life-threatening acute malnutrition,'' the United Nations humanitarian chief said Wednesday.
The U.S. military spent hundreds of millions of dollars earlier this year in a six-week barrage intended to stop the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen from targeting ships in the Red Sea.
Maritime security firms launched a mission on Wednesday to evacuate the crew of the Greek-operated Eternity C vessel hit by Houthi militants off Yemen two days ago, sources close to the mission told Reuters.
