Saná. Yemen está en “peligro inminente” de sufrir “la peor hambruna que el mundo ha conocido en décadas”, alertó el viernes el secretario general de Naciones Unidas, Antonio Guterres, en un comunicado.

La declaración, que se suma a varias advertencias de la ONU en las últimas semanas, se produce en momentos en que Estados Unidos podría incluir a los rebeldes hutíes en su lista de “organizaciones terroristas”, lo que complicaría aún más la entrega de ayuda humanitaria en Yemen.
