In Yemen, one of the poorest regions in the world, there is famine, epidemics, and diseases, not to mention the fact that it is a conflict and war, which as a result has become an arena of continuous wars and conflicts, which has led to it being deprived of the most basic services and suffering from an absolute siege, making it aggravated in the humanitarian situation, the most important of which is famine, which has led to malnutrition among children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. These children and women are considered the most vulnerable and sick. They struggle every day for their lives and need immediate, specialized, life-saving care to survive.
A child with severe acute malnutrition is 9 times more likely to die than a well-nourished child.

If the capabilities are available, this is an ambitious goal.
