Yemen has experienced longstanding political instability, with a series of conflicts and power struggles between various factions. Following the displacement of the internationally recognised government in 2014, conflict in the country has steadily increased, severely restricting the flow of humanitarian aid.
The impact on the everyday, civilian population has been catastrophic. Yemen has witnessed the displacement. , destruction of infrastructure, and a collapsing healthcare system. Millions of people face acute food and water shortages, malnutrition, and a lack of access to basic services. The conflict has also led to the spread of diseases, including a severe cholera outbreak.
This man-made tragedy has left 21.6 million in need of humanitarian aid. 17 million of the population are food insecure , of whom 3.5 million are pregnant/breastfeeding women and children under five.
With our wealth of experience working in areas that are undergoing or have been severely blighted by conflict, Human Relief Foundation has been working in the country's temporary capital, Aden for five years. Thanks to your donations, we're able to regularly deliver vital food aid those who are destitute, and work to find short and medium term solutions for the 4.5 million displaced who are without shelter and housing.
An immediate action to assist in this situation is to donate to provide a vital food pack for impoverished families. For as little as £75, you can feed a family a family of five for up to a month. Our for packs are made up of rice, flour, oil, lentils & beans, vegetables and sugar*
