The international community can help. The rehabilitation of malnourished children is a top priority in order to save a generation of youth. The future of Yemen is impacted by the rampant malnutrition and poverty in the population. In my previous article I mentioned how plumpy'nut supplies for all children in Yemen could make a huge difference. It would not even cost that much for the international community to come through.
There was once a time when one could buy a CARE package and send it to a country where children were suffering so much. I think people would like to do that today with Yemen. Maybe it's this kind of initiative that would move the government leaders to follow.
This is an area where we can actually help Yemen relatively quickly. We have UNICEF, the World Food Programme, Save the Children, and others on the ground ready to work with Yemen and solve this crisis. They just need the support of the international community. All it takes is for a few in power to decide to take action to save the children and save Yemen.
