The Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkol Karman said there was no image that could reduce the humanitarian situation in Yemen better than the image of the girl Amal Hussein, who died out of acute and chronic malnutrition.

Karman said, in an article published in Time magazine titled "Amal... image that summarizes the humanitarian situation in Yemen," Amal is one of so many Yemeni children who have been battered by war that has made a question mark about their unknown future.

"One of millions of Yemeni children, who fall like autumn leaves, under blockade, shells, landmines, hunger and epidemics," said Karman.

Karman pointed out that the face of Amal, her suffering and painful fate is the face of war. “The whole world bears the burden of what happened,” she said.

"Many Yemeni children, women and civilians have died. Entire families have been buried under the dust. Every home in Yemen cries out to unknown children whose names the world has not seen their faces and it knows nothing about their suffering and starving. They suffer silently from terror and fear that surrounds their lives!” she said.

Karman said criminals should not escape the international accountability, otherwise the image of Amal would be repeated, and the number of victims would increase.
