Hunger in the World

 Yemen has the lowest GDP in the Middle East, with a score of 23.4. A war torn country with much violence and terrorism, Yemenis have an average life expectancy of below 64. In the past years, the hunger crisis has led to the death of thousands of civilians and 2.5 million had to leave their homes and search for refuge. Before the Yemen Civil War of 2015, it was the 130th country on the hunger scale, and now it is one of the top 5. 41% of Yemenis are in need of food, that is a total of 10.6 million people. This happened because of a one year war between the president Mr. Hadi and Zaidi Shia rebels known as the Houthis. The cause of this war is because of the split of Islam that dated back more than one thousand years ago.
