Food Shortages in Yemen: A Family’s Daily Struggle

Sanaa, Yemen — Mehdi Galeb Nasr, once an ice cream vendor in Sanaa, now struggles to provide for his family of seven after losing his sight and facing Yemen’s worsening humanitarian crisis. With over 18 million people projected to face severe hunger by 2026, Nasr collects plastic bottles for minimal income, often leaving his family without food. The ongoing conflict, economic collapse, and declining humanitarian aid exacerbate their plight, leaving many Yemenis living in severe poverty.
