  Yemen is living in tragic circumstances in light of the economic and health suffering of the Yemeni people, as the food crisis has worsened among the Yemeni families, especially the poor, which has led to an increase in the number of children infected with infectious diseases and epidemics that lead to death, as well as malnutrition, which these conditions portend a humanitarian disaster. It is the first in the world where there is severe weakness in the health field that stands helpless in the face of this increase in deadly diseases in addition to febrile diseases that damage the spinal cord and make the child suffer from a permanent disability, which is paralysis resulting from brain atrophy. Due to the high temperature, which requires first aid for the child at the beginning of the feeling of fever. Due to the lack of health services in the targeted areas, the Sanad Foundation for Relief and Development (Sword) followed a referral system to central hospitals that are tens and hundreds of kilometers away from the targeted area, and this means that the organization is trying to save many children from death or permanent disability in movement.

Infectious and seasonal diseases accompanying the breaks between winter and summer make the children of Yemen vulnerable to death in light of the silence of the competent authorities and relevant organizations, which made us in Sword redouble our efforts to alleviate this suffering and save dozens of children during this period. The second quarter of the year 2023 AD (July - August - September) through continuous work in receiving and referring sick cases and children at risk of death and permanent disability, in particular, by providing all possible means of transportation and transporting children from poor and displaced families to more centers Service and hospitals. To come out with the least human losses due to diseases and nutritional deficiencies.

 

 In turn, Sword raised its project entitled “Saving the Lives of (1,250) Children from Death and Permanent Disability and Implementing a Referral Program.” The proposed project aims to contribute to reducing deaths and diseases related to child death in targeted areas with high mortality and polio rates during the first quarter of the year 2023, children at risk have been referred, and how to use available resources to overcome them. Or reduce these epidemics. More details about the project’s achievements can be found on our part, based on the available capabilities, and a noticeable decline compared to the percentage of cases recorded by the team in the field. During the second and first quarter of 2023 AD as follows:

in the field. During the second and first quarter of 2023 AD as follows:

 

Total number of beneficiaries::89
children were referred inpatient children with fatal diarrhea (cholera) 32
People with meningitis and seasonal fever (39).
People with severe acute malnutrition (98)
67 children were referred abroad.
People with cholera 18)
(76)People with meningitis experience seasonal fever as a result of the extreme cold season
(People with severe acute malnutrition (36)

 

We have recorded 41 cases of recovery of children who were referred internally, 6 children are still under medical care and observation due to their poor health condition, and no deaths have occurred. Also, 44 recoveries of children transferred abroad and 13 deaths were recorded. There are 9 cases of disability, while 16 children are still in need of medical observation, but due to scarcity of resources, we were not able to do so, and 3 of them died.

Due to the scarcity of capabilities and the lack of donations and support to save children from the risk of death, the number of beneficiaries decreased during the third quarter of 2023 from interventions and aid, while the number of infections reached twice the number of beneficiaries, and this requires a generous gesture from benefactors and supporters to save children.

Also, measles and rubella have begun to spread in several governorates and regions in Yemen without any preventive intervention or treatment due to the lack of capabilities.

Yemen is a poor people and has been exposed to wars for 9 years, a siege, and a lack of necessities for life. Therefore, the children of Yemen are at risk of death or permanent disability, and this requires supporters and donors to extend a helping hand to these children by providing donations, expanding their scope, and raising their ceiling, as we receive donations during the year 2023. Very few people were able to implement the program's goals and help children.

Yemen is living in tragic conditions, in light of the suffering of the Yemeni people economically and healthily. Therefore, the food crisis worsened among the Yemeni family, especially the poor, which led to an increase in the number of children infected with infectious diseases and epidemics that led to death, as well as malnutrition, which heralded a humanitarian catastrophe. It is the first in the world, as there is a severe weakness in the health field, which stands helpless in the face of this increase in deadly diseases. In addition to febrile diseases that damage the spinal cord and make the child suffer from permanent disability, which is paralysis resulting from brain atrophy due to high temperature, which requires first aid for the child at the beginning of the feeling of fever. Due to the lack of health services in the targeted areas, Sanid Organization for Relief and Development (SORD) followed the referral system to central hospitals that are tens and hundreds of kilometers away from the targeted area. This means that the organization is making attempts to save many children from death or permanent disability.

Infectious and seasonal diseases make Yemeni children vulnerable to death in light of the silence of the competent authorities and relevant organizations, which made us in SORD redouble our efforts to alleviate this suffering and save dozens of children during this period of the second quarter of the year 2023 AD (April-May-June). Through continuous work in receiving and referring sick cases and children at risk of death and permanent disability, in particular, by providing all possible means of transportation and transferring children from poor and displaced families to more service centers and hospitals to get out with the least human losses as a result of diseases and nutritional deficiencies.

In turn, SORD raised its project entitled "Saving the lives of (1250) children from death and permanent disability and applying the referral program." The proposed project aims to contribute to reducing deaths and diseases related to child mortality in targeted areas with high mortality rates and polio during the first quarter of the year 2023. Children at risk were referred, and how to use the available resources to overcome them or reduce these epidemics.
