Tahani is two years old and lives with her parents and six other young siblings in Yemen's Al-Sawda camp. Her dad's motorcycle rental business earns just enough to supply the family with tea, bread, and sometimes vegetables. But not every day. This lack of food has left Tahani suffering from malnutrition and anemia.
Her mother, Assrar, reflected on the pain of watching her child suffer: "When she feels sick, I feel sick as well, because there is nothing in our hands to do for her."
Assrar and her husband were able to get Tahani to the IRC's mobile health clinic for nutritional support and medical care. And finally, with great care following a few setbacks, Tahani is showing signs of recovery.
You can help children just like Tahani get the care and support they need, along with their families. Last year, the IRC provided health services for over 600,000 Yemenis and treated nearly 30,000 children under 5 for malnutrition — thanks in large part to supporters like you. We also provide education, clean water, emergency supplies, and job training. |
