Ongoing conflict in Yemen had created the world’s worst humanitarian crisis since 1945. 

Children in Yemen are facing a massive crisis. As the conflict rages on, the needs of vulnerable children continue to grow. Children in Yemen now face a triple threat – hunger, disease and bombs.

A Saudi-led coaltion was responsible for more than half of child deaths and injuries in war-torn Yemen last year, according to a United Nations report.
