A Child Under Age 5 dies every 10 Minutes in Yemen and the World Is Ignoring It [How You Can Help Now]

Yemen, which has already been declared by UNICEF to be in the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, is collapsing further due to the COVID-19 pandemic...

Here’s what’s happening, what we’re doing, and how you can help…

Families have experienced more than five years of war, widespread displacement, a crippled economy, near-famine conditions, severe floods and multiple health crises — including outbreaks of cholera, dengue fever and diphtheria.

All these factors have destroyed Yemen’s healthcare system but the addition of COVID-19 has made the collapse complete.

DONATE NOW TO HELP SAVE THE PEOPLE AND CHILDREN OF YEMEN

Political unrest and groups fighting for power have broken the food supply chain. There is a lack of proper infrastructures like hospitals, schools, and weather plants.

The conditions are so bad that according to the United Nations, a child under the age of five dies every 10 minutes of preventable causes.
