Ramadan 2023 Food Relief for Yemeni Families

WHO ARE WE?

Hello everybody! My name is Ilya Obretetskiy and for the last few years I have been working together with White Crescent Org in Yemen, supporting the running of fundraisers to help the people of the country going through a severe humanitarian catastrophe.

This upcoming Ramadan, we are aiming to raise money for White Crescent to provide them with the resources to distribute food parcels, Iftar Meals, drinking water as well as EID Gifts for the most disadvantaged Yemeni families and their children.

The food parcels will support the families throughout the holy month of Ramadan. The food parcels include items such as flour, rice, sugar, oil and legumes.

FACTS ABOUT YEMEN

As many of you know already, Yemen is going through the worst humanitarian crisis the world has known in modern times, with more than 80% of the population dependent on humanitarian aid and support. Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis live in famine-like conditions, while millions of other are on the brink of going through the same circumstances. 400,000 of Yemeni children are suffering from acute malnutrition and it is estimated that 24 million Yemenis suffer are experiencing severe food insecurity. These shocking conditions have put almost two thirds of the population of Yemen wondering where their next meal is coming from.
