The catastrophic consequences of the war that has lasted more than two years in Yemen have claimed the lives of 10,000 people, left more than 17 million people hungry and 6.8 million people "just one step away from famine". Millions of people are having to eat grass, leaves or drink water to survive. In the photo: A family is eating breakfast outside their tent in a camp for displaced people near the capital Sanaa.

4. Lithuania

| Despite having a high GDP per capita, Lithuanians are among the unhappiest people in the world. This is a country with a high suicide rate and is also the country with the highest alcohol consumption in the world.
