Yemen Emergency Appeal
Over 85,000 People Newly Displaced
““Whoever removes a grief from a believer in this life, Allah will remove a grief from him on the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)
Escalating conflict across Yemen is forcing families who have survived over a decade of war to flee their homes once again. Through your Zakat and Sadaqah, you can deliver urgent food, clean water, and life-saving medical care directly to vulnerable families when they need it most.
Yemen Needs You Now More Than Ever
Mercy Relief operates directly on the ground across Yemen. Your donation bypasses unnecessary delays, moving quickly into the hands of those in critical need, from mothers struggling to feed their infants to displaced families lacking clean water.
Every pound you give is a sacred trust.
All Mercy Relief Yemen emergency projects are 100% Zakat-eligible.
What is Happening in Yemen Right Now?
Yemen remains one of the world's most severe humanitarian disasters. Recent surges in conflict have pushed millions deeper into survival mode:
-
Mass Displacement: Over 85,000 people have been newly displaced following recent fighting, leaving families without basic shelter or security.
-
A Nation Under Siege: An estimated 22.3 million people, more than two-thirds of the country's population, urgently require humanitarian assistance and protection.
-
Extreme Hunger: Nearly half of all families face severe food insecurity, while acute child malnutrition rates continue to rise sharply.
-
Collapsed Healthcare System: Fewer than 6 in 10 health facilities are fully operational, leaving injured and sick children with nowhere to turn for treatment.
-
Critical Funding Deficits: The UN Humanitarian Response Plan received under 25% of its required funding last year, the lowest level in a decade, forcing international aid operations to cut back services at a critical moment.
Families are sleeping in open fields, rationing minimal food supplies, and waiting for aid that is struggling to reach them. Without immediate intervention, this gap will cost lives.
