Give to starving families in Yemen

In terms of population, the largest humanitarian crisis in the world is currently taking place in Yemen. More than 20 million people are suffering from hunger, and two million children under the age of five are malnourished. Nearly 18 million people have no safe access to safe drinking water or sanitation. In the first half of 2019 alone, almost half a million cases of suspected cholera have been reported. "The need in Yemen is unimaginable. With our help, we want to specifically improve the nutrition and hygiene situation of people, "said Keßler.

The civil war has so far displaced more than 3.6 million people from their hometowns. They live under often inhumane conditions in makeshift camps.

The infrastructure of the country, which is one of the poorest in the world anyway, has collapsed completely. The livelihoods of the population, which were based mainly on livestock and fishing, were destroyed. Lack of income means that millions of people can no longer meet their food needs.

Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, together with its partner organization AD Development for Woman and Child Organization (ADO), provides hygiene kits to new arrivals in refugee camps with hygiene kits. In addition, a latrine will be built for each family to provide sanitation. This aid benefits 300 displaced households, which corresponds to around 3,000 people.

In the province of Shabwa, the population is supported by hygiene measures. Together with the Yemen Family Care Association (YFCA) partner organization, public drinking water stations are being maintained and repaired. Tank trucks and water treatment tablets improve the supply of clean drinking water. About 35,000 people benefit from the project

To combat hunger and malnutrition, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe in Mokhaa District, Taizu Governorate has launched an emergency relief project to improve nutritional status.

In the villages of Al-Hayee and Yahktual, bakeries are provided with baking material. A community committee is set up to organize the distribution of bread vouchers and ensure the distribution of coupons to 700 families. This benefits 4,900 people. This project is being carried out with the partner organization For All Foundation for Development (FAF).

Thank you so much for your support!

Yours
