Yemen is facing a major humanitarian crisis. Four years of unrest has left children in urgent need of food, water and medical supplies. Now, the situation is worsened by fierce fighting and heavy air strikes.
Despite the deepening crisis, Unicef is on the ground in Yemen working round the clock to protect children, with over 1.7 million children currently at risk of becoming malnourished. Due to food shortages across the country, nutrition supplies are rapidly depleting and need to be replenished in most health facilities.
Warwick UNICEF on campus is holding a Fast 24 challenge, where participants will fast from 7pm on the 20th of November to 7pm the next day. This is part of a programme to raise awareness of the Yemeni Crisis and Civil War, and to raise money for those affected by this conflict.
All of our proceeds will go directly to UNICEF UK, who are in Yemen providing long-term aid and ensuring that displaced children do not miss out on an education.Through Unicef-supported schools and child-friendly spaces, children can continue lessons and learn how to keep safe from unexploded weapons and landmines.
