WASHINGTON, D.C. – The United States is sending millions in aid to a war-torn country in the Middle East.

Today in Djibouti, Secretary of State John Kerry announced the United States is providing more than $68 million to help humanitarian organizations meet the needs of nearly 16 million people in need of assistance in Yemen, including 300,000 newly internally displaced persons. The funds will support the activities of the World Food Program, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the UN Children’s Fund, and other organizations, providing food, water, shelter, medical care, protection, and other assistance. With this announcement, U.S. funding for humanitarian assistance for Yemen in Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 now totals more than $188 million.

Yemen is under siege from forces loyal to Iran on one side, and Saudi Arabia on the other.
