Fundraising Focus: Yemen & Sudan Floods Emergency Response
We are launching an urgent fundraising appeal to support families impacted by the catastrophic floods in Yemen and Sudan.
Yemen
Southern Yemen has been hit by severe flash floods, affecting more than 100,000 people. Torrential rains have destroyed homes—including camps for already displaced families—and submerged farmland. Critical infrastructure such as roads, power lines, and water systems has also been heavily damaged, cutting off entire communities from essential services and forcing thousands into secondary displacement.
The compounding effects of ongoing conflict, economic collapse, and climate disasters have left families—especially children, the elderly, and displaced populations—facing rising hunger, heightened risks of waterborne diseases, and even dangers from explosive remnants of war unearthed by the floods.
Sudan
In Sudan, floods have affected hundreds of thousands of people at a time when the country is already struggling with the devastating impact of civil war. Families are left without homes, basic necessities, or protection.
UMR’s Emergency Response Includes:
- Emergency Non-Food Items – $290
Kitchen supplies, hygiene kits, mattresses, and blankets
- Emergency Shelter Kits – $540
Plastic tarps, tents, tools, and materials to help families rebuild their shelters
- Shelter Repair Kit (Flood Relief) – $140
Provides individuals with some of the necessary tools to rebuild shelters lost in the floods
Our Call to Action
With both Yemen and Sudan facing overlapping crises, urgent funding is needed to provide lifesaving relief. Our goal is to ensure families have access to shelter, essential items, and protection in the face of unimaginable hardship.
