Why you should care.
What began as a local conflict in Yemen has spiraled into a five-year civil war that hows little sign of resolution. The war in Yemen is a grave human catastrophe that has taken a massive toll on the most vulnerable: in many areas, women and children lack access to the basic care that can help them survive and live full lives. Today, more than 24 million Yemenis need humanitarian assistance, a number greater than the entire population of the state of New York. The numbers are staggering: 20 million Yemenis are food insecure, 19 million do not have access to clean water and sanitation, and the worst cholera outbreak in modern history has claimed more than 3,700 lives. According to the United Nations, 10 million people in Yemen are one step away from famine.
