THE BRINK OF
THE WORLD’S
WORST FAMINE
IN A CENTURY
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is the worst on earth. As you may have seen in the
news, civil war has left tens of thousands dead, their loved ones grieving.
Countless people are without safe water, food or sanitation and only half of all
health facilities are fully functioning. As the economy faces collapse, famine is now
looming.
Last year, Yemen suffered the largest cholera outbreak in history and today
thousands are still grieving the loved ones they lost.
Over 22.2 million people urgently need humanitarian assistance – that’s over
three-quarters of the entire population.
Tearfund is working through partners to quickly get basic hygiene and sanitation
packs to the most vulnerable.
But we’re depending on you to reach as many people as possible.
