The organization called on the United Nations and its agencies working in Yemen, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, and the private sector in Yemen to take the initiative and provide relief to thousands of impacted families and alleviate the humanitarian suffering of tens of thousands of people, a large number of whom are displaced.
It stressed the need to quickly assess the human and material losses and provide the most urgent relief, shelter, food, and medical needs for the affected, many of whom have become homeless and joined the ranks of the displaced, while others have suffered significant losses in property, agricultural land, and livelihoods.
The organization also pointed out to the outbreak of the cholera epidemic, which is already widespread, and the inability to control the fevers that may occur in the impacted areas in a short period if the situation continues without effective medical interventions.
