Yemen: The Forgotten Crisis
The media coverage on Yemen is next to nothing. Unlike other countries which are affected by war, starvation and illness, the unfortunate circumstance with Yemen is that it is not just happening in a city or two; the whole country is affected.
At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen from preventable diseases.
The people of Yemen are having to see their family members die in their arms because they do not even have a pound to their name for food, let alone the expenses to pay for the cure of treatable diseases.
As most are aware, cholera is a disease which is caused by drinking unsanitary water. Unfortunately, it is widespread in Yemen due to the
heart-breaking fact that people would do anything to drink even half a
glass of brown clouded water. The health system is near collapse. For
them, there is no alternative. It is this or death.
