Yemen is in crisis. After nine relentless years of conflict, millions of lives hang in the balance. Over 23.4 million people—nearly three-quarters of the population—desperately need humanitarian aid, with 12.9 million of them being innocent children. Hunger has become a daily reality for over 17 million people, many surviving on less than one meal a day. Among them, 2.4 million children under five are suffering from acute malnutrition, and half a million are on the brink of death without immediate treatment.
But the crisis doesn’t end with hunger. Yemen’s healthcare system is in ruins—more than half of its medical facilities are destroyed or barely functional. Treatable diseases like cholera, diphtheria, and malaria continue to claim lives, while mothers watch helplessly as their children suffer. Schools lie in rubble, leaving 2.7 million children without education, their futures shattered. This is not just a crisis; it is a catastrophe. Your support can bring lifesaving relief—food, medicine, clean water, and a chance for a future.
With our wealth of experience working in areas that are undergoing or have been severely blighted by conflict, Human Relief Foundation has been working in the country's temporary capital, Aden for five years. Thanks to your donations, we're able to regularly deliver vital food aid, medical care, education and shelter to those who are destitute, and work to find short and medium term solutions for families and communities without shelter and housing.
Ibrahim was forced to flee his home in Hajjah Governorate, Yemen to the nation's capital, Aden due to the continuing internal conflict. Now displaced, he carries the immense burden of providing for four families. Every day, he walks the streets selling small toys, doing whatever he can to earn enough to provide a few meals. His wife is unwell, and they live together in an old, crumbling rented house.
When Ibrahim received food aid from HRF, it brought more than just relief. It was a moment of comfort in the midst of exhaustion, and a reminder that he is not alone in his struggle.
Zadia came to us when she was ten months old. Weighing just 400grams - just over 14 ounces - she is sadly disabled and was suffering from malnutrition.
Human Relief Foundation has worked towards finding Zadia and her family an apartment close to the hospital. In addition we are providing food and money for a minimum of six months to potentially to give her the best chance of survival in a very desperate situation.
