The Issue

The Challenge We Face

In Yemen, a simple illness can become a death sentence.

Mothers cradle sick children, knowing that the nearest functioning health facility may be hours away—if it exists at all. Healthcare workers struggle to save lives with bare minimum supplies, while families are forced to choose between seeking medical care and feeding their children.

Yemen’s health system has been devastated by years of conflict. Only half of health facilities remain functional, and those that do operate face severe shortages of medicines, equipment, and qualified staff. The country faces recurrent disease outbreaks, including cholera, measles, and diphtheria.
