It will take about three weeks, while the World Food Program has stated that it will suspend its interventions in the field of preventing malnutrition in Yemen, starting next month, due to an acute lack of funding, which will affect more than two million people.

The United Nations Development Program confirmed in a tweet on Twitter, Friday, that the rescue teams were able to safely unload 223 thousand barrels of crude oil from “Safer”, and that work is progressing at a high pace.

In the same context, the Director of the Development Program, Kim Steiner, indicated in a tweet on Twitter that the United Nations teams are making steady progress in the process of pumping crude oil to the alternative tanker, and that the international organization is carrying out a complex and delicate process to avoid the worst oil spills in human history.

On the other hand, the World Food Program said in a recent report that the severe lack of funding, along with the continuous interruption of supplies, will force us to completely suspend malnutrition prevention activity in Yemen, starting next August, which will have an impact on the 2.4 million people who suffer from malnutrition in the country. They are among those targeted by the program, especially among children and women.

The report added that this suspension comes to direct the simple funds available in the program towards treating the most serious cases, as the available scarce resources will be used to cover the requirements of the life-saving acute malnutrition treatment program, which is more dangerous than moderate malnutrition.

He pointed out that the program was also forced to transfer more than 900,000 beneficiaries of cash-based transfers to in-kind food distributions, starting from the fourth distribution cycle, which began in mid-June, due to the severe lack of funding for the cash-based transfer program.
