Secure Donation
Emergency Yemen
Yemen is gripped by one of the world's worst humanitarian crises — and a new escalation in fighting on the western coast is forcing tens of thousands more to flee their homes.
Tens of thousands have been newly displaced across the south and west in recent days — and some are now risking dangerous boat crossings to reach Djibouti, where women, children and older people are arriving on the shore in need of shelter, food and protection.
For many, this is not the first time. Years of conflict, economic collapse and environmental disaster have already displaced nearly 4.8 million Yemenis.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is on the ground in Yemen and Djibouti — registering new arrivals, and set to deliver shelter, cash assistance and critical protection to families.
By making a monthly donation to Switzerland for UNHCR, you will help us to plan ahead and provide refugees with ongoing relief and protection and help them regain hope for a better future.

However, in the very rare case that this emergency response becomes fully funded, your support will be used to provide vital assistance to people forced to flee around the world.
We will happily explore with you the ways in which you can maximize your impact on the fate of people forced to flee in the way that fits you best. Please email us at [email protected] or call +41 22 552 78 08.
