Recently, during the bridge of peace organised by Aid to the Church in Need at the Polish Embassy in Rome, Apostolic Nuncio in Syria, Cardinal Mario Zenari with a strong voice emphasized, \u201clet us not forget the 85,000 children of Yemen under 5-years of age who died during the past three years of ongoing conflict and from hunger and malnutrition\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Save the Children\u2019s Yemen Country Director Tamer Kirolos on December 6, 2018, issued comments on the current hunger situation for children in Yemen:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWhether or not we call the hunger crisis in Yemen a famine is irrelevant to the millions of children going hungry every day and to their parents who struggle to put food on the table.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe new food insecurity survey released today shows that the hunger crisis in Yemen has been getting worse over the past year with an estimated 120,000 children now classed as living in \u2018catastrophic\u2019 conditions.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This means that even with humanitarian aid they have not been meeting their daily food needs for some time, with evidence of starvation, death, and destitution. Millions of more children could fall into this category unless they receive urgent help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThere is nothing worse than watching a child die of starvation while food is prevented from entering the country and violence hinders its distribution. Even where food is available, many people simply can\u2019t afford it. Malnourished children are succumbing to preventable diseases because life-saving medicines are delayed at ports and checkpoints.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In Yemen, there are only between 3,000 and 25,000 Catholics and four parishes in the country, which forms part of the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roman_Catholic_Vicariate_Apostolic_of_Southern_Arabia\">Roman Catholic Vicariate Apostolic of Southern Arab<\/a>ia\u00a0which also includes several other countries in the Arabian peninsula.
