A thread on what’s happening in Yemen and how you can help.
Yemen is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, with more than 24 million people – some 80 per cent of the population – in need of humanitarian assistance, including more than 12 million children. Since the conflict escalated in March 2015-
With COVID-19 now spreading across the country, Yemen is facing an emergency within an emergency. Sanitation and clean water are in short supply. Only half of health facilities are functioning
and many that remain operational lack basic equipment like masks and gloves, let alone oxygen and other essential supplies to treat the coronavirus.
Children continue to be killed and maimed in the conflict. Around 2 million children under 5 years old are suffering from acute malnutrition and require treatment
The damage and closure of schools and hospitals has disrupted access to education and health services, leaving children even more vulnerable and robbing them of their futures. Before COVID-19, 2 million children were out of school.
Now, because of the pandemic, schools have been closed around the country, leaving an additional 5 million children out of school.
Some 24 million need humanitarian aid. Yemen was already the poorest country in the Middle East when the conflict broke out in March 2015. The years of fighting that followed have left the country devastated.
