AL THAWRA HOSPITAL, AL HUDAYDAH, YEMEN - 15 APRIL 2017.

Saleh is four months old and suffers from severe acute malnutrition. He weighs 2.5 kg and was admitted to hospital on 14 April 2017. His 22-year-old mother, Nora, already has five children. She was forcibly married at the age of 11, and had her first child when she was 12.

Among displaced families in Yemen, child marriage has become an increasingly common coping strategy. A 2016 thematic assessment by UNFPA and INTERSOS on child marriage found that a trend previously in decline is now soaring.

According to the latest UN figures, 462,000 children suffer from severe acute malnutrition in Yemen today, a nearly 200% increase since 2014.
