Malnourished Children In Yemen

All Activities

In Hadith Qudsi, it is mentioned that those who feed the hungry will find Allāh ﷻ.

“O son of Adam, I asked you for food, but you did not give Me food”. The person asked, “O God, how can I feed You, when You are the Lord of the universe?”

Allāh replied,

“Know, do you not care about one of My servants, that is, so-and-so? He came to you for food, but you did not give him food? Know, if you feed him, then you will find Me by his side.”

(Hadith Sahih Muslim)

For the last 9 years, Yemen has been known for having the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

Erth Al Mustafa Foundation has been assisting Yemenis for the past eight years, and we have seen how their situation has deteriorated. Medicine is becoming increasingly expensive and inaccessible. As a result of the war, living expenses and food are becoming more expensive. According to the United Nations, 80% of Yemenis are in extreme poverty and rely on foreign aid for survival.

Every year, the number of malnourished children in Yemen rises. Consider that, while many of us may become ill as a result of excessive consumption, many children and adults are slowly dying as a result of a lack of food, and Yemen has a large number of malnourished children.

Many of them are afflicted with severe illnesses or growth deformities, either physically or mentally. They are trapped in the midst of a civil war in which they have no say and are being deprived of a happy and healthy childhood.

EMF (Erth Al-Mustafa Foundation) has been fortunate to save hundreds of children from malnutrition. We accomplish this by directly assisting children who are in such situations.

We currently provide milk, food, and drink to at least 400 children on a monthly basis. In addition, we sponsor 47 families who are unable to work.

One of our sponsored families includes a mother and her nine children, three of whom are malnourished. With our assistance, she will be able to concentrate on caring for her family and nursing them back to health. They have received treatment, adequate food, and other necessities that the family was previously unable to afford.

EMF also helps with their living situation, which is deteriorating due to the state of their house. It is a 300-year-old house with no proper water or electricity system, and the structure is prone to collapse.
