The Yemeni People are unsure about their next meal. Three out of four Yemenis must depend on relief assistance in 2022 to meet their ends. Many humanitarian agencies stopped working in Yemen, and the existing funds are drying up, putting the Yemenis in a devastated state. However, many welfare communities are providing for the Yemen relief fund to feed those starving, but the conditions prevail. They need your help!
The real story:
Yemen has been under violence since 2015 between the Houthi rebels and the Yemeni government. The United Nations (UN) has estimated that up until 2021, around 377,000 people have been killed in the persisting war so far. As a result, many Yemenis faced hunger and diseases, and a significant number of people lost their lives as well.
In Addition, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) was forced to reduce the daily ration for eight million people, which caused many households to barely receive their food baskets. But given the situation, five million people were added to the list where people will find it hard to get their basic needs.
The current situation in numbers:
Around 70% of those dead were children who faced malnutrition due to the lack and shortage of food for days, especially those below five. It is also noted that 14.5 million of Yemenis do not have enough food, and 20 million people are in need of food assistance. The situation may worsen as the wheat supply from Ukraine may halt due to its conflict with Russia, in which Ukraine constitutes 40% of Yemen’s grains.
1.3 million nursing mothers are malnourished and will experience extreme famine conditions in the second half of 2022.
