DEC Yemen Crisis Appeal

Almost two years of civil war have devastated Yemen,

already one of the poorest countries on Earth.

Amidst the conflict,

it's hard to get pictures of what's going on there...

..and even harder to look at them.

Seven million people don't know

where their next meal is coming from.

Three million have fled their homes.

Half a million young children are starving.

This is an unbearable situation.

The people of Yemen need help now.

That's why the UK's Disasters Emergency Committee, or DEC,

has launched the Yemen Crisis Appeal.

Operating in areas of conflict is difficult,

but DEC member agencies ARE working with local teams

to deliver aid to communities on both sides.

They're giving food to babies and toddlers

who won't survive without it...

..providing medical supplies so parents don't have to choose

between feeding their hungry children

or buying medicine for their sick ones.

And with a cholera outbreak

spreading through parts of the country,

they're providing clean, safe drinking water.

But the DEC needs YOUR help to do more

so, please, spare just a couple of minutes to give what you can.

It costs just over £1 a day

to provide a family with clean drinking water.

£25 pays for a month's life-saving nutrition for a starving child.

£100 could provide essential clinical supplies

to a health centre for a week.

The whole £5 goes to the DEC Yemen Crisis Appeal.

We need to act now.

Whatever you can give will make a difference. Thank you.
