Seyaj Organization for Childhood Protection issued an urgent humanitarian appeal to save more than eight million Yemeni children, including nearly one million infants, who face a severe food and health disaster.
According to Seyaj’s Monitoring and Protection Center, children are at direct risk of death and disease because of malnutrition, unsafe drinking water, and the near-total collapse of health services. The organization warned that the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is worsening as food, medicine, and fuel had been unable to reach the country for nearly a month.
Seyaj said food stocks had been completely exhausted for about 60 percent of Yemeni families, leaving them unable to secure their most basic daily needs.
