In 2020, the UN-led humanitarian operation received $1.9bn (£1.35bn) – half of what was needed and half of what was received the year before. With famine already creeping in, we need to quickly ramp up the aid operation if we want to stop it devouring a whole generation. Every extra dollar the UN and partners receive for the aid operation is a step in the right direction and the sooner it arrives the better. More money for the aid operation is the fastest, most efficient way to prevent a famine. The people of Yemen desperately need help right now.
