Yemen: UN urges donors to convert pledges into cash

Yemen: UN urges donors to convert pledges into cash

The humanitarian crisis in war-torn Yemen is worsening, with the number of cholera cases surging.

The UN has asked that $4bn pledged for emergency humanitarian aid be paid but only a small portion of it has been received.

Al Jazeera's James Bays reports from the United Nations.
