Ask Jeff Bezos to End Famine in Yemen!
The Issue
Jeff Bezos is worth 156.6 billion dollars. As one of this world's few billionaires, he has 1) the power to help change millions of people's lives for the better and 2) has more money than he will ever spend in his lifetime and can contribute his wealth to ending one of the world's biggest tragedies. Let's encourage him to help
The United Nations requires just 4 billion dollars to stop famine in Yemen and provide them necessary healthcare services. Yemen is currently undergoing the LARGEST humanitarian crisis in the world. 24 million people, equivalent to 80% of the population, is in need of humanitarian aid, 12 million of them are children. 2 in every 3 Yemenis cannot afford to buy food. 1+ million cholera cases since 2018 and 25% are associated with children. Yemen estimates 1.8 million children facing malnutrition where every 10 minutes a child under the age of 5 dies.
There are a lot of political factors and political actors involved in maintaining this crisis but if we can get someone to help resolve some of the human rights issues at least we can save some of the people from death and disease. Please sign and share widely!
