Without a “coordinated global effort” from international organizations, these people will simply die, he said. To prevent the disaster as quickly as possible, financial assistance must be provided to Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria, with a deadline of June to collect at least $4.4 billion.

“Without this money, children will stop growing and developing, will not go to school and their futures could be completely lost,” Mr O’Brien stressed.
