Visit the charity's profileWith the entire planet under lockdown millions around the world are without daily income and unable to feed their families. All you need to do is sign up and then run, walk, or crawl. You can do that as part of your daily exercise, walking at home, or even running in your garden or balcony. It sounds crazy because it is but we want as many people to jump on this challenge to stay fit while helping the global family during this testing times. Your efforts will go towards providing life saving food packs and hygiene kits in Yemen so our global family can remain safe as well as fed during this difficult period.
An estimated 2.3 million children under the age of 5 are currently suffering from acute malnutrition in Yemen. 400,000 of these children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and could tragically die if they do not receive urgent treatment. With COVID-19 already spreading rapidly in the country, Yemen is trying to grapple with widespread food shortages whilst fighting the devastating pandemic.
More than five years of conflict has deepened Yemens poverty, devastated its infrastructure, and caused widespread hunger and suffering. The Yemen crisis is getting worse, day by day.
Your efforts can help Islamic Relief teams in Yemen deliver urgently needed food, medicines and medical supplies.
