Yemen's Hunger Crisis: Newborn Twins Fight for Survival

Newborn twins Raghad and Raad are fighting for survival in Yemen due to severe acute malnutrition caused by the ongoing civil war.

  • The conflict has led to a crisis within a crisis, with around 800,000 people unable to receive lifesaving aid.
  • More than 250,000 have been displaced since an informal ceasefire collapsed in the summer.
  • Severe acute malnutrition is as deadly as a bullet and affects half a million Yemeni children this year.

Newborn twins Raghad Hassan and Raad are battling for survival due to severe acute malnutrition caused by the ongoing civil war in Yemen. Their family was forced to flee their home on foot, leaving them vulnerable to hunger and disease.

The twins' father, Bajash Ali Sagir Hassan, is a shepherd who had to leave 10 sheep behind when he fled. He is now fighting to get help for his children, but the hospital in Aden where they are being treated lacks international funding, staff, and equipment.

Why this matters: The crisis highlights the devastating impact of war on civilians, particularly children, and the need for humanitarian aid to address the root causes of malnutrition.

What this means for you: If you're concerned about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, consider donating to reputable organizations providing aid to affected families.
