Yemen sliding into humanitarian crisis
``Yemen is sliding into a humanitarian crisis,'' the agency said in an update, attributing the situation to high food and fuel prices, rising poverty, a breakdown of social services, diminishing resources, internal conflict and political instability.
The humanitarian crisis in southern Yemen is worsening as more than 45,000 people have been displaced by fighting between the Yemeni army and Al Qaeda militants, a UN official said today, speaking to reporters in Geneva.
