The United Nations humanitarian chief warns that Yemen is on the verge of widespread famine, with about half of the population completely relying on humanitarian aid for survival.

Addressing the Security Council on Tuesday, UN Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Mark Lowcock said, "there is a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine engulfing Yemen."

Lowcock told the UN's most powerful body that this famine would be "much bigger than anything any professional in this field has seen during their working lives".

He said that "the situation is now much graver" than when the world governing body last warned of a risk of famine at the beginning of 2017 and again last November, because "of the sheer number of people at risk".

1. Selling a hundred million bucks worth of weapons to the Saudis will deal with that...

No starving people if there are no people.

2. Not a republican-russian hell & damnation abomination, but rather...

a republican-Saudi hell & damnation abomination.

The freaking Desolation of Abomination, or Abomination of Desolation - whatever the hell it's called. republicans are bringing it with sheer, unmitigated evil.

In legion with the outright evil of republican fixer JarJar K. delivering a secret "enemies list" to the Evil Prince so he could commence a campaign of heinous assasinations, is the mammon-worshiping dark deed of Dirty Donny* in elevating the $$$ SALE OF ARMS TO SAUDIS TO PULVERIZE & STARVE THE HUMAN BEINGS OF YEMEN $$$, above any moral consideration or complicity in the outright darkness.
