Skin and bones, 10-year-old Ghazi Ahmad Saleh lies on a hospital bed in the southwestern Yemeni city of Taez barely breathing. He only weighs eight kilogrammes.
Starving and too weak to move or even cry, Ghazi can only look down at his emaciated body as he struggles to keep his eyes open.
Some 14 million Yemenis are at risk of famine, more than four years into the country’s war.
At Al-Mudhafar Hospital where Ghazi is being treated, medics go from one bed to another to check on malnourished children — including infants.
