Yemen's conflict has pushed it to the brink of famine, a top official says. Ertharin Cousin, head of the World Food Programme (WFP), said markets in the country do not have enough food to feed the population - nearly 13 million people urgently require help.
Aid agencies are also unable to reach areas of need because of the ongoing violence, she added.
The conflict has involved Houthi rebel fighters clashing with forces loyal to the Yemeni government and its allies.
