Distance shouldn't stop you
We have these mini computers in our pockets and yet today's youth is
still seemingliy unable to get involved. We see posts on our social
media feeds and repost them, but that repost only does so much. If
we want change, we actually need to look up from our ohones and
fight for it.
Yemen Humanitarian Crisis
Yemen is current going through the biggest humanitarian crisis since the
last 100 years. Approximately 24 million people are in dire need of
aid.According to statistics, it is estimated that one child dies every
ten minutes.The people in Yemen lack the proper neccesities such as
clean water, healthcare, food and shelter.The lack of proper living
conditions have left people vunerable to the harsh weather such as
floods.

2 in 3 Yemenis can't affors to buy food;80 percent of the population
requiressome form of humanitarian assistance;1 million cholera cases
since 2018;On November 2018,Save the Children estimated 85,000
children under the age of five have died from starvation.
Put it into perspective.
Innocent children dying,helpless mothers crying and force to watch as
the light of their lives dim. Bombs explding only a few feet away.
People begging for mercy as they talk their lasts breath.Take a second
to simple apprecate what you have around you and realize that some
people aren't as priveldged.
It's a basic human right.
Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “The
Right to Adequate Health.”
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health
and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing,
housing, and medical care and necessary social services, and the right
to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability,
widowhodd, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond
his control.
