ROME: The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has warned that 5 million Yemenis will likely be living just one step away from famine in the upcoming year.

In a statement posted on its Twitter account, the UN organization said that more than half of Yemen's overall population could head further into hunger in 2021.

It said that immediate support is urgently needed to save Yemen as UN response remains only 49 percent funded.
