With over 20 million in need of aid, Yemen is the world's single largest humanitarian crisis. Our team on the ground is working tirelessly to provide food, clean water, and essential household items as well as support health structures and improving the living conditions within Yemeni prisons. Until June 2018, we have reached more than 2 million people with basic aid. But so much more is needed.
