Anne Rappel, chair of the Aichacher Organizations Jemenhilfe and Yemen Kinderhilfe, describes the devastating conditions that are plagued by the country broken by the civil war. According to Donaukurier , more than half of all deaths have been returned to hunger and avoidable diseases since the beginning of the conflict. In terrifying numbers: A child dies every ten minutes of malnutrition. Three quarters of the population are dependent on humanitarian aid, while the attacks by the Huthi rebels further difficult to deliver food. The current situation of the people supported by Rappel is particularly dramatic because the donations have decreased sharply due to the Ukraine War.
