Question

What universal human right is the Yemen crisis violating?

Answer 1

Answer:

The universal human right that the Yemen crisis is violating is right to food and personal security.

Explanation:

Since 2015 when violence broke out in Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the Middle East, the conditions of this place and its people have rapidly deteriorated. There has been famine, outbreaks of cholera and diphtheria, economic collapse and severe shortages of food, safe water, sanitation and healthcare. All this has taken a toll on the lives of the civilians. Right to personal safety and food security are still the two biggest challenges that the people of Yemen face. At present, the UN Refugee Agency is addressing the acute malnutrition issue by delivering food, nutritional programs and cash assistance to the affected families. It is also providing shelter kits and household items and helping them to refurbish the settlements. The UN Refugee Agency is also providing health facilities to prevent and control the spread of cholera and other diseases.
