The deteriorating living and health conditions resulting from the five-year conflict, high poverty rates among about 12,000 families, high numbers of internally displaced persons, unemployment, high numbers of orphans, widows, and sick children are strong grounds that led QC to quickly respond to disaster and relief appeal launched by local authorities of Ibb governorate.
According to field information, more than 70% of Al Qafr district’s total population of 140,000 is afflicted by hunger. The reports of the governorate health office indicate that 14 children under age five died in October-November 2016 due to food shortage and lack of health care services.
"QC's project that is dedicated to confronting famine and poverty in Yemen will distribute two-month food rations to 700 families. The foodstuff will include 50 kg of milled wheat, 10 kg of sugar, 10 kg of rice, 3 kg of salt, 500 grams of tea, 3-liter of oil , 900 grams of milk and 25 cans of tomato paste," Nasr Qaed Alzaeem, the Director of QC's office in Yemen said.
The Director of QC's office in Yemen has extended the deepest thanks to Qatar for supporting their Yemeni brothers who are living in bad conditions due to the ongoing crisis.
Donations to the Yemen campaign can be made by calling the hotline 44667711, or via QC's website qcharity.org site, or through QC's headquarters and its branches within the state, and the collection outlets in the shopping malls.
