Most Dangerous Place on Earth to be a Child
Right now, children in Yemen are facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Years of brutal conflict have pushed Yemen deep into crisis. An alarming 80% of the population are in need of help, including 12.9 million children. That’s almost every boy and girl in Yemen in desperate need of our help.
The conflict has left over 2.7 million children out of school, robbing them of their futures. Health systems are on the verge of collapse and the country is on the brink of famine. Less than half of health centers are functional and over 2.2 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition and need urgent treatment.
Yemen has become one the worst places on earth to be a child. Since the conflict began, an average of six children have been killed or maimed every day. No place in Yemen is safe for children.
