The armed conflicts in Yemen have created a vast array of problems for those living in the region. Recent figures released by the United Nations have indicated that there are more than 17 million are facing “severe food insecurity” as part of the ongoing conflicts in the region. More specifically, 7 million Yemenis are at risk of famine. There are untold numbers of children that will or are already affected by this continued humanitarian crisis. Foreign investments into the aid projects have yielded some results, but the magnitude of the issues in this region have prevented most from getting the aid they need. It is understood by many in the international community that this crisis may have already reached the point of no return and that many more Yemenis, beyond those already afflicted, may suffer from famine.  Port cities in Yemen have seen increased action, preventing much of the aid arriving by sea from reaching their intended locations. The unique geography of this nation means that the port is incredibly important in the shipping process. Before the conflict began, over 90 percent of the food in Yemen arrived through the port cities. For those interested in ending the conflict, this fact prevents the simple solution of cutting off the port city altogether. As a result, this conflict is artificially extended because they cannot take the simple solution; not without jeopardizing all of the humanitarian aid efforts ongoing in the region.
