Emergency services in Yemen, where civil war, hunger, and epidemics are taking place, continue to provide aid to families in need. Our teams delivered aid to the Mursid family, two of their four children disabilities and one of whom lost on the migration route.
The Mursid family, who were forced to flee their homes and emigrate due to the civil war in Yemen and have four children, two of whom have disabilities, lost a child on the migration route. Food, medicine, and hygiene aids were provided to the family living in poor conditions by our team in the region.
Hasan Mursid, who fled the conflict in the al-Kedha region and took refuge in a camp near Taiz with his family, buried his youngest child due to hunger and illness. Mursid has four children, two of them disabilities. They were forced to emigrate in 2016 due to conflicts that began in their districts. The grieving father was taking his lap his two children and his wife was taking her lap his 6-month-old baby, Akil. He carried two disabled children on his back and walked for two days and reached the Taiz area.
Mursid said they arrived at the camp on a night of stormy and very heavy rainfall and spent days lying on the cartons without beds, tents or anything else. Our emergency aid team in the area has provided food parcels containing flour, sugar, rice, oil, milk powder and canned food parcels, medicines and hygiene parcels to the family who are having a difficult time.
Cevdet Hasbal, a member of the board of directors who is closely interested in the family; " In general, misery prevails in the country and many regions it is difficult to find bread and water as food, medicine, hygiene products. We met the Mursid family in Taiz, where we went as part of our emergency relief efforts and listened to their stories. The situation of the family, who lived in unhygienic conditions in a makeshift tent with 2 children with disabilities, was deplorable. Hasan Mursid said he was unemployed and unable to take care of his family and needed help. We have provided food, medicine, and hygiene parcel aids to the family and will continue to regularly deliver aid to the Murşid family."
