Yemen humanitarian relief: Protecting vulnerable children
Since the war began in 2015, tens of thousands of Yemeni children have been orphaned. The country’s collapsing social services have left state orphanages unable to care for them. Many families have also been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or natural disasters, joining millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who struggle for food, shelter, and income. This vulnerable population also faces increased risks of violence and exploitation. In this difficult context, our Yemen humanitarian relief efforts focus on caring for orphans and displaced families, and strengthening children’s mental health.

قصة نجاح
In August 2024, catastrophic floods devastated the Milhan district, destroying houses and roads and cutting villages off from the outside world. Families were left without food, water, and essential goods— completely isolated. When roads
to Al-Qibla became impassable, our team braved landslides and flooding to supply 148 households. Access to Hamdan‘s remote mountain villages was even more difficult. With vehicles stuck, the team used camels to transport 154 emergency kits. After a four-hour walk, our team was the first to reach the affected families and deliver life-saving aid.
