Hello!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
According to the UN, the emergency in Yemen has left 22 million people - three quarters of the country's population - in desperate need of humanitarian aid to meet their most basic needs. Water, health care, food and medicines are needed.
More than 8 million people are on the brink of starvation and 2 million are internally displaced. Children are especially being affected. You can help today! (Islamic Help)
Save the Children estimated that 130 children were dying every day from extreme hunger and disease - or almost 50,000 during the course of a year.
Malnutrition in Yemen is at an all-time high and right now 11.3 million children are in danger (UNICEF)
Over 300 districts of 333 have cholera infected water, and the people have no choice but to drink the water. As a result of this, children are suffering; becoming ill and finiding it extremely difficult to fight of infections through just normal anti-biotics. 1, because they're severly malnourished, and 2, because the medical supplies the hospitals have do not cater to their infections and doctors are making do with what resources they have (BBC News)
What makes it worse is the price of food in Yemen has now DOUBLED, which is putting thousands of lives at risk (SaveTheChildren)
As humans, we can not just stand by and let people suffer. Help is needed, and giving even a small amount will make a huge difference. If you see someone hungry you would help, right?
My aim is to raise £350 for the emergency relief fund set up by Islamic Help, which will directly go to them.
Literally, every little donation helps.
May God reward you for your efforts, insha'Allah, ameen.
