摘要
UNICEF has declared Yemen as one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world. With the ongoing war, famine, and COVID-19 pandemic converging to create Yemen's current detrimental situation. This further exacerbated Yemen's dwindling resources, contributing to the lack of basic necessities, a poor healthcare system, poverty, food insecurity, illiteracy, pollution, and skyrocketing outbreaks of infectious diseases. Leading to alarming number of maternal mortality and child malnutrition cases. The socioeconomic disparities and financial constraints are making it nearly impossible for Yemen to recover. In the wake of current events, Yemen requires immediate assistance to prevent further crises complications and mortalities.
