In Yemen, which was the poorest country in the Arab world before the civil
war and where you can see people begging all over the country and looking
for food in the garbage, a child dies every 10 minutes from preventable causes.
The Yemeni people, who are unable to meet their basic human needs due to the extremely poor state of the country's economy, cannot fight the diseases caused
by malnutrition.
Increasing deaths due to catastrophic starvation as well as the
shortage of clean water and health care have made the urgent need for
support essential for Yemen.
In Yemen, which has a population of 24 million, according to statistics;
Approximately 3.3 million
children, pregnant or breastfeeding women have severe malnutrition and
among them, nearly 500,000 children are struggling with serious diseases.
The world's biggest hunger
crisis, as well as the growing number of deaths due to the shortage of clean
water and health care, suggests the need to strengthen our helping hand and aid
reach to Yemen.
We invite the whole world to
hear Yemen's cry to take immediate action, take measures and deliver the
necessary aid to the region to prevent greater humanitarian disasters.
