Yemen’s Orphans Are in Need

Being an orphan is like being born into a misfortunate life. Everything will be harder than usual, and you, as an orphan, will most likely be highly sensitive toward everything and everyone you will ever come across.

Now let’s take this image and try to picture it taking place in a country with its own problems! Not any problems, but Major Essential Problems.
Yes! We are talking about Yemen Orphans. It is so hard to be an orphan in a country like Yemen, in the middle of poverty and famine.

Save the Children in Yemen

According to the U.N., The humanitarian crisis in Yemen remains the worst in the world.

In Yemen, more needs are being faced across the board as a result of more than six years of war and severe economic decline.

Two-thirds of the population, or an estimated 20.7 million people, including 11.3 million children, need some kind of humanitarian or protection aid.

An estimated 7.4 million people are in need of nutrition assistance. Of this total, there are 3.2 million who require treatment for acute malnutrition. 2.3 million children under 5 are expected to go hungry this year, including 400,000 children who are expected to die from severe acute malnutrition.

In war, Children pay the highest price. In Yemen, a kid dies from a preventable disease like diarrhea, malnutrition, or respiratory infections every ten minutes. 15.4 million people are without access to clean water and sanitation, including 8.4 million children who lack access to a sanitary environment.

More than 2 million children are out of school, depriving them of an education and exposing them to protection risks.

Statistics of Orphans in Yemen

Roughly 1.1 million children in Yemen are orphaned and require financial support for necessities such as food, clothing, and school costs.

Before the war, a report by UNICEF and Yemen’s MOPIC, in 2014 estimated a total of 600,000 children under 18 were orphans.

Since the beginning of the war, attacks on school children, teachers, and education infrastructure are having a devastating impact on the country’s education system – and on the chances of millions of children accessing learning.

The damage and closure of schools are threatening children’s access to education, rendering them vulnerable to serious protection concerns.

Nutrition for Orphans in Yemen

Acute malnutrition affects 2.2 million children worldwide, with 540,000 suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM).

Only 15 percent of children eat the minimum acceptable diet for survival, growth, and development.

The high levels of malnutrition are compounded by a lack of food, poor feeding practices at home, sub-optimal functioning of the health, water, and sanitation systems, disease outbreaks, and a deteriorating economy.
