Yemen, in the Middle East, is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Today, 20.7 million people – nearly the same number as the entire population of Australia – need food, medical treatment, education, water and sanitation.

It is eight years into the conflict in Yemen, and the situation is only getting worse.

Children in Yemen face incredible threats to their survival. Four out of five children across the country are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Fuel shortages are driving up the prices of food and other necessities. Families are struggling to make ends meet with more than half of the population living in poverty.

UNICEF is one of the few international agencies on the ground in Yemen and our teams are working hard to save the lives of children. But we urgently need help.

By setting up a fundraising page, you'll be helping children caught in Yemen’s violent conflict with emergency nutrition, clean water, sanitation facilities, vaccines, medicine and much-needed medical kits.
