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 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.
