Famine is a Threat

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have warned us that millions of lives are at risk in four countries stretching from Asia, Africa to the Middle East. Millions of children, orphans and their communities have little or no access to food and nutrition. Famine is death by hunger, slow, brutal and painful and millions are dying this way. 

85,000 Children Have Starved to Death in Yemen

More children are dying in Yemen every single day. The UN has also named the situation in Yemen ‘the worst humanitarian crisis of our time’. Children are robbed of their futures as they don’t even reach the age of five, or are severely underdeveloped causing other dire physical and mental health issues.  Without more help, the UN has warned that millions face malnutrition and starvation, and 400,000 children are at risk of starving to death in 2021.
