Overshadowed by the conflict in Ukraine, Yemen is still suffering the World’s worst humanitarian crisis. For more than 7 years, people in Yemen have been living through a horrific war. According to the UN, the conflict in Yemen has made more than 24.1 million which is 80 % of the population need humanitarian aid.

The war conflict between a coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE and The Houthi rebels who control the capital and western parts of the country. Destruction because of the war has made millions displaced internally and starve due to cuts in food supplies. Many people don’t get food for 2 – 3 days and are living on sugar and water.

The war has caused widespread hunger and poverty in Yemen, leaving millions of children malnourished. According to UNICEF children in Yemen suffer permanent mental and physical damage due to malnutrition. Already weakened health systems have been further devastated by the impact of COVID–19 pandemic.

The country is so insufficient in resources that it is estimated that 16.2 million people in the country will face high levels of acute food shortages with an estimated 21,000 children at risk of falling into famine.

Another critical factor that underscores the importance of Humanitarian aid in Yemen is the destruction of infrastructure. The ongoing conflict has caused significant damage to the country’s roads, bridges, Hospitals, and other essential facilities. The destruction has made it difficult to deliver aid to those in need and has further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis.
