The Yemeni community in Sandwell and Birmingham in partnership with Saba Relief are raising money for the Yemen Crisis Appeal.

With the ongoing conflict in Yemen thousands of lives have been lost and millions left in turmoil in a country on the brink of famine. In 2017, the WHO and UNICEF classed the Cholera crisis in Yemen as the worst outbreak ever recorded. The population of Yemen now face a triple threat hunger, disease and bombs.

I urge you to help us to raise money for this immediate cause as:

· Approximately 18 million people, many of them children have been left food insecure

· Around two million people have fled their homes and are displaced and living in dire conditions

· Countless homes have been reduced to rubble

· Infrastructure and communication lines are damaged

· Hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of injured and malnourished civilians

· Water and electricity supplies have been cut off.

We urge donors to act now to support the people of Yemen at this time of greatest need

In addition to the appeal, we will be holding a charity dinner on Saturday 8th December 2018 at Al-Miraj Banquet, Birmingham. For more information or to book tickets please call 07778-332-029 .
