play-icon Video report by ITV News Senior International Correspondent John Irvine Almost 2.5 million children under the age of five in Yemen are set to suffer from acute malnutrition in 2021, according to a report. The report by Food and Agriculture Organization, Unicef, and the World Food Programme (WFP) and partners, also estimates that 400,000 could have severe acute malnutrition, which is potentially fatal. Additionally, the report notes around 1.2 million pregnant or breastfeeding women in Yemen are projected to be acutely malnourished this year, which has a major knock-on effect for their children.
