No place in Yemen is safe for children. The country faces a triple catastrophe of conflict, a cratering economy and now coronavirus. Unicef is working round the clock to get supplies to children in need, in extremely difficult circumstances. But time is running out and we need your help.

    Situation

    Coronavirus is devastating this already fragile state. 80% of the population need humanitarian aid including 1.71 million children who are internally displaced. Only one in three people have running water and the health system is on the brink of collapse. There is growing demand on medical staff and hospital resources such as gloves, soap and ventilators. We are in a worrying situation where, without urgent funding, we may have to suspend vital programmes. This will be catastrophic for children.

    Solution

    Working with the Yemen government, World Health Organisation and other partners, we are distributing supplies such as test kits, respirators, face shields, and gowns; training health workers in infection prevention and control, distributing hygiene kits and setting up quarantine centres; reaching communities with transmission prevention messages via TV, radio and social media; developing a distance learning plan to ensure that children continue to learn and teachers can continue to work.
