As part of the emergency relief works, our association distributed food packages consisting of flour, sugar, rice, oil, canned and 900 gr. milk powder to hundreds of families struggling with starvation in Ed Dali region from El Hudeyde.

Since the civil war began in Yemen in 2015, the total loss of life has exceeded 30,000. Attacks on hospitals, schools, and infrastructure facilities have became common. Epidemics are increasing in Yemen which are experiencing a crisis in many issues especially health due to the lack of access to clean water, malnutrition, shortages in medicines and medical supplies every day. In the country, 22 million people, who constitute 75 percent of the population, live in need of humanitarian assistance and protection.

 At the first stage, food packages to about 1,000 families and 90 shares of sacrificing were delivered to the people of the region by Sadakatasi Association. Medical supplies, hygiene packs, clean drinking water, and food packages were identified as priority relief materials for the region.

According to information and images from local sources in the region, it is not the same as the humanitarian plight in Syria's Eastern Ghouta region last year but the humanitarian plight in Yemen bigger than it  East Guta 10 times.
