After five years of conflict, most of the population in Yemen needs humanitarian assistance. They have a lack of basic healthcare, severe food shortages and limited clean water. 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.Over a year of fighting and fuel shortages has destroyed water pipes and water pumping facilities, so 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 womens and children's needs.Thank you for reading.

I have been to the Yemen:  it is a beautiful country, but its people have always suffered from relative poverty.  The last five years of war has meant that the population, particularly the children, are suffering from acute malnutrition, lack of basic needs, disease and largely untreated war injuries.  The situation has now been exacerbated by COVID.  CARE International will ensure that funds reach those who need them most.  I would be so grateful for any help you can give.
