                                                    According to the report, 46% of

                                               Yemenis are malnourished, and the
                                               reason for this is the elite who
                                               exploit the country's resources in
                                               order to accumulate wealth and
                                               then send it out of the country. (2)
                                               The report states that not only is
                                               this money acquired illegally, but

                                               tax is also avoided by sending it
                                               abroad. Yemen stands in fifth place
                                                     in the world in terms of ille-

                                                       dollars. (3) The report goes
                                                       on to say that the source of a
