Yemen Crisis
Campaign by CARE International UK (RCN 292506)
After six years of conflict, the war in Yemen continues as millions of people face not only displacement and hunger, but the threat of coronavirus as well.

Story

After five years of conflict, more than 24 million people in Yemen need humanitarian assistance, including more than 12 million children. They have a lack of basic healthcare, severe food shortages and limited clean water. Furthermore, with the deadly COVID-19 spreading rapidly, this crisis is only getting worse. CARE is focused on helping the most vulnerable people, through distributing food to families in need, and cash vouchers so that families can purchase for themselves the food they need. As fuel shortages have destroyed water pipes and water pumping facilities, CARE is rehabilitating water sources and providing water tanks so women and children can get safe drinking water without having to travel long distances. CARE is also providing hygiene kits, paying special attention to women's and children's needs. Not only do CARE provide life-saving immediate support, but they are also dedicated to providing long-term solutions such as agricultural training, empowering women, rehabilitating maternity wards and offering vocational training opportunities for young people. 

Our support and donations will ensure that CARE's amazing work will continue to help millions of Yemenis who are facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis. For more information please visit the dedicated Yemen Crisis page on CARE's website: www.careinternational.org.uk/emergencies/yemen-crisis
