And last July, the Emir of the State of Qatar directed the allocation of $100 million to support the efforts of the World Food Program in Yemen.
The Qatar News Agency (QNA) stated at the time that the support came as part of the efforts of the United Nations Food Program to support food security and stave off famine in Yemen.
It also comes to assist the urgent United Nations relief and humanitarian programs to alleviate the aggravation of the humanitarian tragedy in the country.
Yemen has been witnessing for nearly 7 years a continuous war between the pro-government forces backed by an Arab military alliance led by the neighboring Saudi Arabia, and the Iranian-backed Houthis, who have controlled governorates including the capital, Sanaa, since September 2014.
This war claimed the lives of 233,000 people, and 80% of the population, which numbered about 30 million people, depended on aid to survive, in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, according to the United Nations.
