Yemen is on the brink of humanitarian disaster with millions of lives at risk
More than half of Yemen’s population needs aid and a humanitarian crisis of extreme proportions is at risk of unfolding in the country if instability continues, Oxfam warns today. Throughout the country there are 16 million people in need of aid, meaning one in three people needing help in the entire Middle East is Yemeni. Ten million Yemenis do not have enough to eat, including 850,000 acutely malnourished children. Millions have no clean water and are unable to access basic healthcare services.

Richest 1% will own more than the rest of the world by 2016
The explosion in inequality is holding back the fight against global poverty according to a new Oxfam report, Wealth: Having it all and wanting more, the combined wealth of the richest 1 per cent will overtake that of the other 99 per cent of humanity next year unless the current trend of rising inequality is checked. The report was released today ahead of the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.
Part of the inequality problem
"The impact of economic inequality on other inequalities, particularly between men and women, is profound. If the status quo were to continue unabated, it would take 75 years before the world’s women are paid the same as men. In Canada, women continue to make 20 per cent less than their male counterparts for the same work."
