Global Hunger Index 2022 Score: 45.1 

Humanitarian Aid in 2021: $3.867 billion

As the country is highly dependent on food imports, including wheat from Russia and Ukraine, these conflicts have made it worse for Yemen. Also, even before the onset of the war in Ukraine, food prices in Yemen were rising because of the depreciation of its currency.
