The humanitarian crisis in Yemen remains one of the largest in the world, with 9.5 million people left without food in northern Yemen, and recent military escalation hindering the ability of aid organisations to deliver critical services for vulnerable civilians.
Nearly nine years of war have left more than 21 million people – over two-thirds of the population – in desperate need of food, water, and lifesaving assistance. Millions of Yemenis are facing widespread displacement, food insecurity and limited access to basic services.
In Yemen, nearly 50% of the population is food insecure. In Aden, orphaned families—already among the most vulnerable—struggle daily to afford even the most basic food needs.
Islamic Relief Yemen will provide in-kind food assistance for 6 months to:
Help us reach our goal of €67,681. That’s just €712 per family for 6 months of vital food assistance.
On the ground in Yemen, the situation is dire and things are getting worse each and every day.
Yemen now officially hosts the world’s largest human-induced food security crisis.
400,000 children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and could tragically die if they do not receive urgent treatment.
Your donations can help our teams deliver urgently needed food, medicines and medical supplies.
“Since March 2015 the situation has gotten worse… essential goods such as food, have more than doubled in price…”

In light of the impending famine, Islamic Relief is continuing to distribute food packs and essential food vouchers to provide critical aid to families in need. However, we need your help to reach as many people as possible and widen our response.
One of the world’s poorest countries, Yemen now teeters on the brink of famine after years of conflict, economic downturn and shortfalls in humanitarian funding. Some 24 million people depend on urgent humanitarian aid to survive.
The tragedy has reached epic proportions, with a child dying every 10 minutes from preventable causes like diarrhoea, breathing infections and malnutrition. More than 4 million people are internally displaced and humanitarian access is difficult.
*Due to ongoing conflict, blockades and delays in food imports, the food prices in Yemen constantly fluctuate. At times food prices have more than doubled during the ongoing conflict which began in March 2015. Islamic Relief Yemen continues to provide life-saving aid to those most in need through its partnership work with international organisations such as the World Food Programme. We will regularly update price handles to reflect the current situation on the ground.
