Right now, the world stands on the brink of unprecedented famines. Latest reports from the UN suggest acute hunger is alarmingly at a five-year high.

 41 million people globally are at imminent risk of famine, experiencing alarming hunger, severe levels of food insecurity and malnutrition.

Over 584,000 people are already experiencing famine-like conditions in places like Ethiopia, South Sudan and Yemen. Conflicts, climate change, and Covid-19, along with compounded economic shocks are driving the increase of hunger globally.

A famine is the most severe food insecurity situation, which can be caused by several factors such as conflict, economic downturn, crop failure, population imbalance, or government policies.

Specific criteria need to be met for a hunger crisis to be considered serious enough to be defined as a famine. Famine is declared when:

• 20% of households lack adequate food and other basic needs
• Acute malnutrition exceeds 30%
• Death and starvation are evident – by the time a famine is declared, people are already dying from hunger

Here is a short video that captures some of the most impactful case studies I witnessed:

Right now there is a disaster taking place in the horn of Africa with more then 30 million people in need.
5.5 million children under the age of 6 years old are acutely malnourished and are on the brink of death.
This Ramadan we have made it my intention to raise funds for them, and we need your help to do so by donating your Zakat or Sadaqah in sha Allah.

It costs just €300 to provide 10 children with life saving treatments

May Allah and the universe reward you abundantly
