Yemeni Kids: Hungriest in the World

USAID

45% of Yemeni kids under age five are underweight.

Yemen is tied for the highest rate of child malnutrition globally with Afghanistan,
In contrast, 3% of kids under five in the Palestinian Territories are underweight.
Maybe the Palestinians can start collecting money for Yemeni kids.

Many people assume the highest child huinger rate is in sub-Saharan Africa, but no, Yemeni kids are the hungriest in the world.
