Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the Middle East. The ongoing civil war has made the situation even worse. It is one of the lowest-ranking countries on the Human Development Index and is 177th out of 189 countries graded.

It has a population of 30.5 million people and of that 20.1 million people face hunger in the absence of food assistance.

Despite ongoing humanitarian assistance, 15.9 million people wake up hungry every day and 14.4 million people need immediate assistance to sustain or save their lives. Malnutrition among women and children is particularly shocking. Over 2 million children are currently suffering from acute malnutrition and over 360,000 are at risk of dying without proper treatment.

80% of the Yemeni population are in urgent need of humanitarian aid.

The UN estimates that 130 children under the age of 5 die each day from hunger and disease in Yemen

OUR AIM:

We want to give 300 families food packs that will sustain them for a month. For that we need 300 people to give £85 to support a family for a month!
