The Mona relief agency has distributed over 120 food aid baskets to vulnerable families in Sana'a amid acute food insecurity in the war-ravaged country. More than 18 million people in Yemen, over half the population, will need humanitarian assistance and protection services in 2024, according to estimates by the United Nations. The Muslims' holy month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is believed that the revelation of the first verse in the Koran was during its last 10 nights. It is celebrated yearly by praying during the night and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual acts during the period between sunrise and sunset. It is also a time for socializing, mainly in the evening after breaking the fast, and a shift of all activities to late in the day in most countries. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB
