These families urgently need your help
[link removed]
Dear John,
In March, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that if coronavirus came to Yemen, it would mean a ‘perfect storm’ of a humanitarian disaster. Unfortunately, that storm has now arrived.
After five years of war, Yemen’s health systems are on the verge of collapse. This is in a country where over 3.6 million people have fled their homes to escape the deadly conflict. Where malnutrition and cholera stalk families every day. At least 80% of people live below the poverty line. Many are surviving on just one meal of bread and tea a day.
Over 24 million Yemeni people depend on humanitarian aid for survival and urgently need your help. Coronavirus has made a dire situation even more deadly.
Families in Yemen need immediate assistance before it’s too late. Today, you can help them survive with an Emergency Coronavirus Payment.
When you give US$ 85 for an Emergency Coronavirus Payment([link removed])([link removed]), you can help displaced families access lifesaving medical care, clean water and safe shelter. And right now, emergency payments are the best way we have of helping people stay alive.
Please give now to help a displaced Yemeni family survive coronavirus.([link removed])
When this crisis emerged, António Guterres - the UN Secretary-General - said that in the fight against coronavirus the world was only as strong as its weakest health system. Tragically, with each passing day, it’s becoming increasingly clear that war-torn Yemen is one of those weak links. Over half of the country’s hospitals have been destroyed in the conflict. There is only one oxygen cylinder per 2.5 million people.
In over 18% of districts there is not even a single doctor. Not one.
We at UNHCR are doing what we can to support the devastated health system, but in these harsh circumstances saving lives means helping protect people from coronavirus in the first place. ([link removed])Emergency Coronavirus Payments([link removed]) are the best way of doing that.
Please give what you can to help displaced Yemeni families live through this.
