Yemen Relief: Saving Lives in the Heart of War
Yemen is currently engulfed in one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. As ‘Our Islamic Charity,’ we are stationed in refugee camps, striving to keep the relief routes open and provide emergency aid to the most vulnerable. Our goal is to protect the Yemeni people by keeping them as far away as possible from the war-torn cities that have become the center of conflict. Every day, we witness the heartbreaking suffering of families who have lost everything—homes, loved ones, and hope.
The Current Situation: Cities in Despair and Infrastructure in Ruins
The condition of Yemeni cities like Sana’a, Hodeidah, Taiz, and Aden is catastrophic. Years of relentless conflict have left these cities in ruins, with critical infrastructure such as water and electricity systems completely destroyed. In some areas, access to clean water and electricity has been entirely cut off, leaving families in darkness and desperation. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to dehydration and disease due to the lack of basic necessities.
- In Hodeidah, a strategic port city, the destruction of infrastructure has blocked the delivery of essential food and medical supplies.
- Taiz remains one of the most heavily contested areas, with civilians trapped in the crossfire and no access to medical care.
- In Sana’a, the lack of electricity and clean water has worsened health conditions, leading to the spread of preventable diseases.
- Aden, although relatively more stable, faces periodic clashes and a severe shortage of food and medicine.
- The situation in Marib and Al Jawf is similarly dire, with continuous airstrikes forcing thousands to flee to overcrowded refugee camps.
What the Yemeni People Need Right Now
In this dire situation, the people of Yemen urgently require:
- Clean Water and Emergency Rations: To prevent dehydration and malnutrition.
- Medical Assistance: For the treatment of injuries and diseases caused by the war.
- Shelter and Security: Safe zones within the camps to protect displaced families from airstrikes and violence.
- Mental Health Support: To help trauma victims, especially women and children, cope with the horrors of war. We constantly see children in war refugee camps who suffer from nervous breakdowns and psychological panic attacks.
- Access to Basic Sanitation and Hygiene Kits: To prevent the spread of diseases and maintain human dignity.
Our teams are on the ground, distributing emergency food packages, providing first aid, and ensuring safe shelter for displaced families. However, the needs are immense, and the situation is deteriorating rapidly. We also offer psychological support to children who have been orphaned or severely traumatized by the conflict.
The Refugee Camps: The Only Safe Haven
We have established secure zones in refugee camps, especially in the southern regions near Aden, where families receive immediate assistance and medical care. In northern regions like Sa’dah and Hodeidah, where the conflict is more intense, we are working under extreme conditions to deliver basic aid and keep the supply routes open.
The Al-Mazraq refugee camp in northern Yemen has become a critical point for shelter and medical assistance, while the camp in Al-Kharaz near Aden provides a safer environment for displaced families. Despite the harsh conditions, these camps are the only refuge for thousands of innocent civilians.
With your support, we can continue to save lives and provide emergency relief to yemenis who have lost everything in this devastating war. Your donation can help us deliver food, clean water, and medical supplies to those who need them the most. Join us in this noble cause to protect the innocent and bring hope to the oppressed people of Yemen.
