Folks,
Recently we asked Khadija, a Yemeni mother, what immediate concerns she had for her children. She held them close and told us: "Diseases, war, and malnutrition."
This is the shocking truth for so many mothers in Yemen. COVID-19 and cholera are spreading in their communities, bombings remain a constant threat, and their children desperately need food and medical care.
Look, 3 million children are at risk of losing water and sanitation services in Yemen โ just as the COVID-19 pandemic is set to peak. At the same time, 2.5 million malnourished children could lose nutrition support due to shortfalls in humanitarian funding and a widespread lack of food.
Our frontline health workers have told us that it's truly a nightmare scenario.
Please give now to triple your gift. ยป With your help, our teams on the frontlines can reach more children and families in Yemen and wherever the need is greatest.
As one of leading humanitarian aid organizations in Yemen, the IRC is positioned to scale up our work even further and take immediate action to save lives โ while continuing lifesaving programs in crisis zones worldwide.
In the midst of ongoing conflict, our teams are working around the clock to:
Deliver protective gear, clean water, and lifesaving information about COVID-19 symptoms and prevention.
Supply children with nutritious therapeutic foods like Plumpy'Nut, a vitamin-packed, protein-rich paste that puts them on the path to health.
Provide children with malnutrition tests, a simplified treatment process, and follow-up.
Deploy mobile medical teams to reach children and families in hard-to-reach places.
The need is urgent, but together, we can make a lifesaving difference for so many children and families in Yemen and around the world. Triple your gift โ and together, we'll triple the impact.
Thank you for your incredible support and compassion.
