Amid the escalation of war on Yemen, 8 million Yemenis are likely to lose all humanitarian aid in March, with the absence of urgent new funds.

    UN officials reported that two-thirds of major UN aid programs were reduced or closed.

According to UN officials, 8 million Yemenis might lose all humanitarian aid in the coming month, while no urgent new funds are available to the Arab world's poorest war-torn nation, which has been under an aggressive war led by Saudi Arabia for over a decade.

The aggravated situation was reported by UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg and UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths who explained that the escalating war caused two-thirds of major UN aid programs to be reduced or closed.

Griffiths warned that "aid agencies are quickly running out of money, forcing them to slash life-saving programs."

He added that the UN World Food Program had decreased the rations of food in December for 8 million people and starting next month, "those 8 million people may get no food at all."

It is worth noting that the UN might cancel most humanitarian flights in Yemen, according to Griffiths.
