Yemen is facing a major humanitarian crisis, with over 1.7 million children currently at risk of becoming malnourished.

Four years of unrest has left children in urgent need of food, water and medical supplies. Now, the situation is worsened by fierce fighting and heavy air strikes. Unicef is doing everything it can to make sure that children in Yemen are getting the food they need to survive.

19 August 2015 – An average of eight children are being killed or maimed every day in Yemen as a direct result of the conflict gripping the country, according to a report released by Unicef

“This conflict is a particular tragedy for Yemeni children”, said Unicef Representative in Yemen, Julien Harneis. “Children are being killed by bombs or bullets and those that survive face the growing threat of disease and malnutrition. This cannot be allowed to continue”

Unicef has been at the centre of humanitarian operations in Yemen since the beginning of the conflict. Its staff working across the country are responding to the critical needs of children by providing life-saving services including distribution of safe water and treatment of children with malnutrition, as well as diarrhoea, measles and pneumonia, but we need YOUR help to reach more children in danger! All donations made here will go towards Unicef's efforts in Yemen so please donate anything you can.

Thank You.
