Also, during the months of April and May of the year 2023 AD, many diseases spread in Yemen, as many children were infected, which led to the death of approximately 32 children. The number of infections and deaths continues to rise in light of the poor health situation in those areas affected by this disease.

There has also been a recent increase in the number of polio infections. Where UN reports and appeals for rapid intervention to provide the necessary vaccines for these creditors, who are killing children.

Yemen suffers from the spread of diseases and epidemics among children, especially with the absence of interventions to save their lives.

Overall Performance

In turn, raisedSORD's project is entitled: "Saving the lives of 3,025 children under the age of five and 1,360 pregnant and breastfeeding women in Yemen." The proposed project aims to contribute to reducing deaths and diseases associated with acute malnutrition for children under the age of five, pregnant women and nursing mothers in targeted areas with high rates of acute malnutrition. During the second quarter of the year 2023, children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women who suffer from acute malnutrition were provided with appropriate complementary feeding. Community awareness has been raised among pregnant women, nursing mothers, and girls of childbearing age regarding the prevalence of malnutrition, both for the child and the mother, the importance of good nutrition for mental and physical health, and how to use available resources in order to overcome or reduce malnutrition. More details about the project's achievements can be found on our side, and based on the available capabilities, we have made remarkable progress compared to the percentage of cases recorded by the team in the field.
