World Food Program to resume food aid to 850,000 people in Yemen’s capital next week

The World Food Program (WFP) said on Friday it would resume the distribution of food to 850,000 people in Yemen’s capital Sanaa next week after a two-month stoppage, following an agreement reached with Houthi authorities.

The warring parties in Yemen’s conflict have each used access to aid and food as a political tool, exacerbating what the UN has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, Reuters said.
