Yemen evacuates 22 nationals from Ukraine

Yemen has said that it had evacuated 22 nationals from Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict, according to Anadolu.

In a statement, Yemen's foreign ministry said 18 citizens left Ukraine through Poland, while four others were evacuated through Romania.

There are no official estimates of the number of Yemenis in Ukraine. However, the Yemeni government last week said it formed a crisis room to follow the conditions of Yemeni nationals in Ukraine.

The UN's World Food Programme has warned that the Russian invasion of Ukraine will likely increase fuel and food prices in war-torn Yemen, creating "hell on earth" for Yemenis.'
