Three-month-old Yemeni twins, Al-Hasan and AI-Hussein, are suffering from acute malnutrition and are among the more than 20 such cases admitted each day to the hospital where they are now being treated. Yemen is in “imminent danger of the worst famine the world has seen for decades”, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned on November 20, 2020. The Middle Eastern country has been caught up in a five-year war between Iran-allied Houthi rebels and government forces. The UN warning was issued as the US planned to label the Houthi rebels as “terrorists”. The move would limit the ability of other countries to interact with the rebels, who control the Yemeni capital and much of the north, and in turn hinder the delivery of aid in Yemen.

Shibam, an ancient city in Yemen, is at risk of collapse from neglect and because of heavy rains and flooding that have hit the country in recent months. The Unesco World Heritage Site dates back to the 3rd century, and is known as the “Manhattan of the desert” because of high-rise buildings constructed in around the 16th century. But while Shibam has survived the ravages of time and a recent civil war, it is now falling apart as authorities struggle to secure enough funds to repair areas which have been damaged.
