Herland Report: The United Nations aid chief urged the Saudi-led military coalition that controls Yemen’s ports to expedite imports of food and fuel supplies, warning that a further 10 millions of Yemenis expected to face starvation by year-end, writes Reuters.
Yemenis in danger of starving to death may rise from 8.4 million today to 18.4 million by December, 2018. That’s three times the estimated death toll of Jews killed during the Holocaust, comments Whitney Webb at Mint Press.

Led by Scandinavian bestselling author, Hanne Nabintu Herland, The Herland Report news and opinion website provides independent analysis from leading Western intellectuals and ground breaking YouTube interviews, cutting through the mainstream media rhetoric. It is a great place to watch interviews and read the articles of leading intellectuals, thought leaders, authors and activists from across the political spectrum. The Herland Report believes in freedom of speech and its editorial policy resides above the traditional Left vs Right paradigm which we believe has lost its relevance and ability to describe the current driving forces in Western politics.
