There are currently 24 million people in need of humanitarian aid in Yemen - out of a 30 million population. 2020 not only marks 5 years of conflict in Yemen but poses an even greater challenge in light of coronavirus. This conflict has made the healthcare system unable to deal with a pandemic as it is thought only half of Yemen’s medical centres are fully functioning. 

Tearfund works in the world’s 50 poorest countries distributing humanitarian aid and empowering communities to escape the cyclical nature of poverty. As part of The 24 Challenge, we will be raising funds for Tearfund's Coronavirus Appeal in Yemen and other countries - to provide community hygiene education, water stations and food distribution.
