Nearly half a million children under the age of 5 are at risk of starvation in Yemen if they do not get help quickly.
It warns the UN, which calls the situation the biggest humanitarian catastrophe in the world right now.
Four-year-old Mishaal Hilal weighs just under four and a half kilos.
His family fled the fighting to a refugee camp near Abs in the war-torn Hajja province in northwestern Yemen.
The boy's mother Maryam Muhammad says that the family previously took the son to a clinic for malnourished children, and that he got better when he received help.
- But when he comes home again, he gets worse, she says.
80 percent need help to survive
After six years of war, 80 percent of Yemen's residents need the help of international organizations to survive.
Maryam Muhammad's husband worked on a farm before the war, but has not been able to support the family after the escape.
SVT asked a local photographer to meet the family on site in Yemen.
At a clinic for malnourished children in a refugee camp near Abs, doctor Abdullah al-Madouni receives four-year-old Mishaal.
- We see a sharp increase in the number of children who come here now.
It has happened that we have not had food deliveries in two weeks or a month because they stop the ships out at sea, says al-Madouni to SVT.
At the clinic, you encounter famine and cholera - in addition to the corona pandemic.
One of the most dangerous countries
The UN warns that the famine in the country this year will reach the highest levels since the beginning of the conflict.
The war-torn areas around Hodeida, Aden, Hajjah and Taiz have been hardest hit.
Half of the country's five million children will go hungry - and an estimated 400,000 will suffer from severe acute malnutrition, which means they could die if they do not receive immediate help.
1.2 million breastfeeding or pregnant women in the country are also expected to suffer from acute malnutrition this year.
According to the UN, Yemen is one of the most dangerous countries for a child to grow up in.
