Violence in Yemen has created the most severe humanitarian crisis in the world.

Even before COVID-19, the situation in Yemen was already extremely dire. Now COVID-19 has added another level of complications to an extremely fragile situation.

Yemen is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with an estimated 24 million people, out of a total population of 30 million, in need of aid and protection across the country.

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

The people of Yemen need your help.

CARE'S RESPONSE

CARE is providing desperately-needed help including food, clean water, emergency relief items, and cash assistance so people can buy what they need.

We know women and girls face increased risk in times of conflict. This is why we place a special focus on their specific needs, while also ensuring they are included in the decision-making process. CARE is also providing sexual and reproductive health support for pregnant women and new mothers.

The ongoing violence is making humanitarian access to those most in need extremely challenging, and CARE continues to call on all parties to the conflict and the international community to prioritize the access and delivery of life-saving supplies to the affected people in Yemen.

Urgent action is needed right now to end the suffering of millions of people.
