The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
'The people of Yemen have the most tender of hearts and softest of souls; and they are the most obedient (in the worship of Allah).' (Musnad Ahmad)

Yemen is one of the world's poorest and least developed nations. Traditionally neglected, almost half the country's residents are malnourished and have no access to clean water.

Like much of the Middle East, the country suffered huge political instability following the Arab Spring in 2011. Nationwide protests led to civil strife and an eventual government coup.

Events however continue to unfold. The beginning of aerial strikes and an escalation in fighting are now pushing the country towards total collapse. An estimated 15 million people - almost two-thirds of the population - need humanitarian assistance.

Ummah Welfare Trust has launched its first ever appeal for suffering families in Yemen, the land ofImaan and hikmah. Through local partners on the ground, the charity has identified thousands of displaced families around Sana'a, the country's capital, who need urgent food assistance.

You can support one family with a food pack for just £50.
