This article covers the famine in Yemen and talks about what is causing it. Contrary to how normal famines are caused--through natural resource depletion--this famine is the result of political failure. After Yemen rebels fired a missile into Saudi Arabia, Saudi closed borders to Yemen, causing economic turmoil within the country. Prices of food, oil, and medicine has skyrocketed, and Yemeni people are unable to afford basic life-sustaining resources.
