“How can I provide a meal for my children this Iftar?”
This is the heartbreaking question that haunts Mohammed, an internally displaced father in Yemen. Every day, as the sun sets and families around the world prepare for Iftar, Mohammed and thousands like him wonder if they will have anything to feed their children.
“I keep asking myself, how will I bring food? That’s what’s on my mind the whole time.”
Ramadan—a month of blessings, forgiveness, and giving—is also a month of struggle for families like Mohammed’s.
Forced to Flee, Struggling to Survive.
Mohammed once lived a comfortable life in Al Hudaydah. He had a home, security, and the ability to provide for his family.Then, war forced them to flee.
“They forced us to leave…where are we supposed to go?”
With no safe shelter, no stable income, and no guarantee of food, survival has become an everyday battle. The harsh weather makes things even worse. Mohammed lost one of his children—not to war, but to the cold and rain.
“We do not have proper shelter…life is very difficult.”
This is the reality for millions in Yemen today.
A Crisis That Needs Urgent Help.
- 17 million people in Yemen are food insecure.
- 7 million people need shelter assistance.
- 1.6 million internally displaced people live in makeshift settlements.
Despite these immense hardships, Zakat is bringing hope.
