Yemen could be 'worst famine in 100 years'

The UN has stated that 13 million people in Yemen are facing starvation and its effect on the lives of people in Yemen are enormous. The civil war has pushed Yemen to the brink because of the many air strikes there is exposure to the poorest of areas to be without any food source. The problem not only in this uprising epidemic there is conflict with losing a large population. It is heartbreaking to watch the video in this blog because we get a small taste of how the starvation is to these people. However, many states that support this state have been willing to supply food sources but it will not be enough because the war is the major conflict at hand and is not looking to stop anytime soon. Not only are they facing a civil war but also a war that is causing everyone to slowly become ill, starved, or dead. How the US and other states will respond will be interesting to see and if any intervention with the war will be made by any of these states.
