Almost two years of civil war have devastated Yemen, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
already one of the poorest countries on Earth. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Amidst the conflict, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
it's hard to get pictures of what's going on there... | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
..and even harder to look at them. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Seven million people don't know | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
where their next meal is coming from. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Three million have fled their homes. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Half a million young children are starving. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
This is an unbearable situation. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
The people of Yemen need help now. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
That's why the UK's Disasters Emergency Committee, or DEC, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
has launched the Yemen Crisis Appeal. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Operating in areas of conflict is difficult, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
but DEC member agencies ARE working with local teams | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
to deliver aid to communities on both sides. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
They're giving food to babies and toddlers | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
who won't survive without it... | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
..providing medical supplies so parents don't have to choose | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
between feeding their hungry children | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
or buying medicine for their sick ones. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
And with a cholera outbreak | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
spreading through parts of the country, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
they're providing clean, safe drinking water. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
But the DEC needs YOUR help to do more | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
so, please, spare just a couple of minutes to give what you can. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
It costs just over £1 a day | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
to provide a family with clean drinking water. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
£25 pays for a month's life-saving nutrition for a starving child. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
£100 could provide essential clinical supplies | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
to a health centre for a week. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
You can give online at: | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Or you can call: | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
To donate £5: | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
The whole £5 goes to the DEC Yemen Crisis Appeal. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
We need to act now. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
Whatever you can give will make a difference. Thank you. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 |
