Following the ongoing civil war in Yemen, Shocking images have emerged of a malnourished helpless boy reduced to little more than skin and bone lying on a hospital bed in the Red Sea port city of Houdieda in Yemen.

The weakened toddler is seen chewing on his spindly forearm, his rib bones protruding from his chest, sitting next to his mother wearing nothing but a nappy and a bandage on his elbow, as a syringe lies in front of them.The disturbing pictures come as the United Nations renewed pleas for an end to the conflict.
