epa10008262 A Yemeni pours wheat grains into a flour mill in Sana'a, Yemen, 11 June 2022. Yemen is looking for alternative wheat markets in order to cover the disruption to global wheat supplies generated by the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the war-ravaged Arab country imports about 46 percent of wheat from Russia and Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine and the prolonged war in Yemen have caused shortages of wheat and food price spikes in the impoverished Arab country, exacerbating its already dire humanitarian situation. Yemen is one of the most food-insecure countries in the world with 19 million Yemenis out of the country's 30 million population suffer from food insecurity and an additional 1.6 million expected to fall into emergency levels of hunger, bringing the total to 7.3 million people by the end of 2022, the United Nations has warned.
