Yemen 5 Years Of Conflict A Lethal Epidemic And Millions In Need Of Humanitarian Assistance 2020

Self isolation? Travel restrictions? Separation of families? Lethal epidemic? The people of Yemen have sadly become all too familiar with these during five years of a conflict that has left an estimated 24 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Lack of basic healthcare, severe food shortages and limited clean water compound the devastating impact of an ongoing cholera epidemic - which has caused 87,000 suspected cases in 2020 alone.

Women and children are already dying from malnutrition in Yemen and the situation could grow far worse. 1.8 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition, of whom 400,000 children under five are suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Children suffering from severe acute malnutrition are 10 times more at risk of dying compared to other children, due to a weakening of the immune system. There are around 1.1 million malnourished pregnant and breast-feeding women.

How is CARE responding?

CARE is reaching around one million people a month and is willing and able to reach many more. More funding is needed to enable CARE and other humanitarian organisations to scale up and provide life-saving supplies to as many people as possible.
