  1. FOREIGN AID IN YEMEN IS NOT ENOUGH

  2. Yemen has been at war since 2014. The war started when Shiite rebels with ties to Iran gained control of Sana'a, Yemen's capital and largest city, in search of lower gasoline prices and a new government.

  3. This has led to the worst humanitarian crisis the world has ever seen. In the words of Shamayun Miah, the crisis has caused approximately three million people in Yemen to suffer food shortages, with nearly two-thirds suffering acute food insecurity. The number of malnourished children in this country has risen to an alarming 262,000.

  4. According to United Nations Foundation: Every month, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) delivers 100,000 metric tons of food items at over 5,000 distribution stations, reaching over 8 million Yemenis. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have provided cholera vaccines to almost 300,000 people.

  5. Despite the support from these bodies and even more not documented here, the UN warns that If donors do not contribute $4 billion for aid, Yemen would face the world's worst famine in decades. I am particularly grateful to Shamayun Miah and his efforts to raise finance for the aid of the Yemeni in this crisis. We need to collectively join this fight not just to find peace, but to save the lives of Yemeni.
