I will be climbing to the summit of Mount Snowdon in North Wales on the 5th of September in order to raise funds for humanitarian aid in Yemen! This is a 9 mile trek and everyone who knows me will know that I am likely to hate every minute, but with my climbing buddy Amal and the chance to raise money for such a worthy cause, we are positive it will be worth the aches and pains the next day!
With families facing ongoing armed conflict, displacement, disease and economic decline, an estimated 24 million people are now in need of humanitarian aid to survive - a figure so high that it is in fact the highest across the globe. Yemen now officially hosts the worlds largest human-induced food security crisis. Families and communities have been torn apart and left without even the most basic of living essentials:
- 19.7 million people need basic healthcare
- Almost 18 million people are in need of water and sanitation facilities
- Over 3 million people have been left displaced by conflict
Islamic Relief is on the ground in 17 of the countrys 22 governorates, providing essential food aid to families at risk of famine and facing extensive food insecurity. With your support we can help these communities in their hour of need.
