A mortar shell has damaged a World Food Programme (WFP) storage facility in the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah — potentially impacting the humanitarian agency’s ability to feed 3.5 million people.
Despite the deteriorating security situation, WFP remains on the ground and is committed to doing everything it can to ensure that lifesaving operations continue throughout the region. Just last month the agency provided food to 700,000 people surrounded by conflict in southern Hodeidah.
But WFP can’t do this alone. Your support is needed to save more lives.
