I wrote to you last week about the crisis in Yemen. I am writing again because the situation is so desperate. Already, 10 million people – almost half of the population – do not have enough food to eat, and an estimated 267,000 children face life-threatening malnutrition.

I’ve seen what the people of Yemen are going through. Conflict and spiralling food prices have created a living nightmare. Salama is just one of many people we have met struggling to get by. Two of her young sons died this year – one of them, seven-month old Abdullah, had been diagnosed as malnourished.

“I blame this crisis and the situation we are facing for the deaths of my children,” she says. “We had no medicine and no food. It’s because of poverty.”

Please give now to save lives in Yemen.
