In Yemen, millions of children are on the brink of starvation.
It’s the result of a decade-long conflict; one that has fractured Yemen’s health care system and led to soaring levels of inflation, poverty, and displacement. For years, one organization has been filling the gaps, connecting malnourished children with the treatment they need to survive.
But on Jan. 24, that work was frozen by the U.S. government. And despite submitting a waiver — an exemption that supposedly would allow lifesaving assistance to continue — the organization hasn’t heard a word.
