15-year-old Rami* was hit by shrapnel during an airstrike but he considers himself lucky. His cousins were killed and his uncle had to bring them home in body parts.
Rami was leaving a mosque with his family when shrapnel struck his body. He fell to the ground in agony and terror. He couldn’t move his legs.
Rami had emergency surgery to remove shrapnel from his body after being wounded during an airstrike. But he needs more surgery and continuing medical support if he’s to have any hope of walking again.
Rami says he has just one wish. “I hope the war will stop so we can go back to living in our home. I hope Save the Children will continue to support me.”
STOP CHILDREN FROM BEING BOMBED, RAPED AND KILLED.
APPEAL
STOP CHILDREN FROM BEING BOMBED, RAPED AND KILLED.
YEMEN APPEAL
This holiday season, they need your help.
YEMEN
The war rages on and vulnerable children are at the frontline. But you can do something to help. You can donate today to give the children of Yemen urgently needed medical supplies and food this Holiday Season.
What's it like for children growing up in Yemen?
The war in Yemen is confusing and complicated – but we can’t forget the innocent children caught up in the five-year conflict. The boys and girls of Yemen are living through the worst humanitarian crisis in the world—some growing up knowing nothing but war.
These are some of the shocking realities for children:
- Almost a fifth of children in Yemen have lost their homes.
- Two million children in Yemen are out of school.
- One in five schools in Yemen can’t be used because of the conflict.
- 12.3 million children in Yemen need humanitarian assistance.
Every day, lives are being devastated by war. Families are being torn apart. Children are going to bed hungry. Too many are missing out on school while falling asleep to the sounds of shelling and bombing outside their doors. Now, a new threat—the coronavirus pandemic—has put children in Yemen at even greater risk.
With a surge of suspected COVID-related deaths being reported in Yemen’s city of Aden, hospitals are having to turn away patients. Those with dire health needs, including 2.1 million acutely malnourished children, are more vulnerable than ever before.
