Yemen is facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today, according to the UN. Help us provide essential aid to the vulnerable people of Yemen, ensuring they have the basic necessities to survive.
While much of the world looks away, the innocent people of Yemen are enduring the worst famine in a century. Described by the UN as the most devastating humanitarian crisis globally, Yemen urgently needs our help. You can support those in greatest need today.
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is the largest in the world, affecting more than 24 million people—about 80% of the population—including over 12 million children. Since the conflict escalated in March 2015, the situation has become terrifying, especially for children.
In brief, the Yemen crisis, which has persisted for over eight years, involves a combination of armed violence, economic downturn, and disrupted public services, as reported by UN sources. Approximately 21.6 million people need humanitarian assistance, with over 4 million internally displaced and 3 million forced to flee the country. Scarce access to clean water and sanitation has led to outbreaks of water-borne diseases, and disrupted healthcare services have left millions without essential care. Insecurity and restrictions imposed by warring parties impede aid delivery.
Despite the overwhelming scale of this crisis, we must not turn away. We must recognise the daily suffering of the Yemeni people and act to support them.
Our teams are on the ground providing essential food and medical relief. The vital work we do through our Yemen appeal saves innocent lives. With much of the population in acute need, the demand for medical care is high. Hospitals, already overcrowded, face severe shortages of medical supplies. We are helping to provide emergency medical supplies to ensure the sick and injured receive the urgent care they need.
Initiated in December 2023, this project aims to enhance access to clean water for communities facing drought and water shortages. Four solar water wells were installed, benefiting approximately 200 families.
Launched in November 2023, this project aims to establish five schools in villages and IDP camps in Al-Hudaidah, Yemen, each accommodating around 100 students. The goal is to provide a conducive learning environment for 100 children in each school. To date, three schools have been completed and two are in progress.
Addressing the winterisation needs of vulnerable children, this project targeted 500 children in Yemen through the distribution of winter clothes kits. Each kit includes a jacket, trousers, and winter boots.
This project aims to enhance food security for vulnerable communities affected by famine waves and malnutrition in Yemen. Following the success of the previous project in Ibb province, a relief bakery was established, providing daily bread to 600 vulnerable families. The last phase concluded on 13 June 2023, and a new phase started in March 2024. The project is providing daily bread to 500 families for six months.
