After six years of conflict, Yemen remains the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. It is now further compounded by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the threat of cholera, food insecurity, ongoing conflict and economic collapse. More than 20 million people need humanitarian assistance across the country.
More than 16 million will go hungry this year.
The war in Ukraine has torn millions of lives apart and created a massive humanitarian emergency. The conflict has forced 14 million people to flee to safety, while another 13 million are stranded in hard-hit areas. When bombs fell near her home in Dnipro, Nastia escaped with her mother and two children.
