(I want you guys to be aware of what is happening right now and shed light on the whole situation. I will attach a few petitions you can sign or even donate in order to help fight the current famine in Yemen)
The ongoing conflict in Yemen has resulted in the largest humanitarian crisis in the world; parties to the conflict have killed and injured thousands of Yemeni civilians. According to the Yemen Data Project, more than 17,000 people were killed and injured since 2015, and a quarter of all civilians killed in air raids were women and children. More than 20 million people in Yemen are experiencing a lack of food sources. And about 10 million of them are at risk of severe famine.
In August 2019, clashes occurred between the Yemeni government and STC forces, with the UAE carrying out airstrikes in support of the STC. Across the country, civilians suffer from a lack of basic services, a spiralling economic crisis, abusive local security forces, and broken governance, health, education, and judicial systems.
Yemen’s economy, already unstable prior to the conflict, has been massively affected. Hundreds of thousands of families no longer have a steady source of income, and many public servants have not received a regular salary in years. The nation’s broken economy has worsened the humanitarian crisis.
Since September 2014, all parties to the conflict have used child soldiers under 18, including some under the age of 15…
The Saudi-led coalition’s restrictions on imports have worsened the dire humanitarian situation. The coalition has delayed and diverted fuel tankers closed critical ports, and stopped goods from entering Houthi-controlled seaports. Fuel needed to power generators to hospitals and pump water to homes has also been blocked. Since May 2017, journalists and international human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, have been facing restrictions by the Saudi-led coalition in using UN flights to areas of Yemen under Houthi control. The coalition has kept Sanaa International Airport closed since August 2016.
So what’s the problem now with COVID-19?
The United Nations has warned that three-quarters of the aid programmes backed by its agencies in war-ravaged Yemen will have to shutter in weeks without more funding, even as both COVID-19 and cholera continue to spread in the country facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The lack of COVID-19 testing is aggravating the humanitarian situation unfolding in Yemen, where young boys and girls are the most at risk.
“The children in Yemen are worse off than all children in the world - and for us, this is an emergency.”
