No this can't wait. Because Yemen needs our help, especially during Christmas. Because while many of us celebrate and give each other presents, the people in Yemen aren't able to. They are literally dealing with hunger and disease at this very moment. And we've got the power to change this situation, together. If there is anything you should do this year, I believe this is it. I normally don't even post fundraisers, except this one.
Over 6 years of war and siege have left Yemen’s roads impassable and have turned its hospitals and clinics to rubble, while a ruinous blockade of Yemen’s ports has depleted the country’s supplies of life-saving medicine.
Since war broke out in Yemen, around 400,000 children under 5 years of age are suffering from severe acute malnutrition. The children oh Yemen have suffered far too long, living in conditions no human being should ever have to bear. It is sad that the young generation of Yemen is facing so many challenges for living a normal life.
Health problems:
With only 50% of health facilities fully functional, and a disruption of salaries paid to health personnel, 17.4 million people in Yemen require assistance to ensure adequate access to healthcare - 9.3 million of whom are in acute need.
Ongoing malnutrition:
Some 2.4 million children and 1.5 million pregnant or lactating women are acutely malnourished. An estimated 8.5 million people are in need of nutrition assistance, with 3.4 million people who will require treatment for acute malnutrition in 2020.
Lack of education:
The 2020 school year started with a setback in the education process in 13 out of 22 governorates. This is due to the extended time of non-payment of salaries for teachers. Schools across the country are unfit for use due to conflict-related damage, hosting of IDPs, or occupation by armed groups. An estimated 4.4 million school-age children require assistance to continue their education.
So if you've earned some extra Hive and you love the value that's going up, perhaps it's time to look at what YOU can donate to the people in Yemen.
