Since 2014, Yemen has been battling the worlds worst humanitarian crisis of our time, in the midst of a debilitating civil war, famine and disease outbreaks. Yemens healthcare system is virtually non-existent, and millions are in desperate need and starving.

We launched our Yemen Emergency Appeal to provide life-saving support for the people of Yemen.

Yemen has been facing years of armed conflict and displacement. Its population is facing the worst famine in the last 100 years, and rampant disease and Covid-19 has left 22.2 million people in desperate need. The healthcare system in Yemen was already weak and overstretched and is now on the verge of collapse.

In 2020, the situation in Yemen escalated so much so that there was a serious risk that Yemen could be wiped off the world map. Nearly 29 per cent of all detected and reported cases of Covid-19 have led to death, which is many times the current global average. Most people in Yemen lack knowledge of Covid-19 and how to protect themselves. Instead, there is mixed and confusing messaging about the spread of the virus. Cholera, dengue and other infectious diseases are also common. Nearly a quarter of districts throughout the country have no doctors at all.
