Save children in
Yemen from hunger
A child in Yemen dies every 13 minutes
Children in Yemen are facing deadly threats from malnutrition, disease and a decade of war. Almost 11 million children urgently need help – a child now dies every 13 minutes from preventable causes.
Half of all young children are acutely malnourished, with 537,000 severely affected. They are starving, sick, and scared. Schools and hospitals lie in ruins. Cholera is surging again, with more than 250,000 cases in 2024. Over 2 million children have fled their homes and now live in unsafe, unsanitary camps.
They are being forced into labour, child marriage, and armed groups. Four children are killed or injured every day as a result of the conflict. The devastation from these combined threats have plunged over 80% of the population into poverty. The crisis is growing – but the headlines have moved on and millions of vulnerable children are at risk of being forgotten.
You can change that. UNICEF is providing immediate aid and supporting long-term projects to address Yemen’s complex needs. Your support today can reach Yemen’s children before it’s too late.
