Prolonged Conflict and COVID-19 Pandemic: A Serious Humanitarian Catastrophic for Yemen
Yemen Conflict in Brief: The Yemeni Civil War is an ongoing conflict that began in 2015 between two factions: the Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi-led Yemeni government and the Houthi armed movement, along with their supporters and allies. Both claim to constitute the official government of Yemen. Since March 2015, the conflict became more violent, resulting in continued unbearable suffering for the local population today. The Yemen conflict has become complex with the involvement of regional actors like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, and a few western powers. Further involvement of Al-Qaeda, Ansar al-Sharia, and ISIL has deepened the conflict. The five-year war devastated almost every sector of the country (Orkaby, Asher. 25 March 2015. "Houthi Who?". Foreign Affairs). The most affected sectors are the food management and healthcare sector.

April 10th, 2020. Rotaractors from Nicaragua upholding children’s rights amidst COVID-19 pandemic. Originally published on the Rotary Service Blog.

COVID-19 is changing our lives. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization estimates that more than one billion children are out of school or child care. Parents and caregivers are exploring ways to work remotely or are unable to work, and may become unemployed. For the poorest of the poor, these challenges are even worse. It is unknown how long the situation will last. And for everyone, social distancing and enhanced hygiene practices seem to be the key to our health and safety.
