Emergency Food Aid for Yemen

According to the United Nations, “After nine years of war, Yemen remains the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. An estimated 4.5 million people—14 percent of the population—are currently displaced, most of whom have been displaced multiple times over a number of years. Two-thirds of the population of Yemen—21.6 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance and protection services. The risk of a large-scale famine in the country has never been more acute. Tens of thousands are already living in famine-like conditions, with a staggering 6 million more just one step away from it.”

Mercy-USA distributes food baskets and water to families who have been internally displaced from their homes. We serve families in the Marib, Taiz, Aden and Lahj regions where the need is dire.
