Did you know? The war in Yemen which began in 2015 has devastated the country and an estimated 85,000 children under the age of five have starved to death as a result (source: Save the Children).

Around 14 million people - which is half of Yemen’s population – are currently at risk of famine. Yemen could be facing the worst famine in 100 years. 

Many people have got in touch with IlmFeed asking us to raise money for the people of Yemen so we have launched this fundraiser to raise money in order to send food to our brothers and sisters in Yemen.

We will be working with UK registered charity Human Relief Foundation who are on the ground. A team will be heading to Yemen at the end of the month and they will be sharing updates on IlmFeed's social media accounts.

Through this fundraiser we want to raise at least £50,000 which will provide 10 trucks full of food containing rice, flour and ground wheat to the people of Yemen.

Each truck will contain 7 tonnes of food which will feed around 230 families for an entire month.

The Prophet ﷺ praised the people of Yemen:

The Prophet ﷺ beckoned with his hand towards Yemen and said, “Belief (Eeman) is there.” (Sahih Al Bukhari)​

Hadith Qudsi

Allah will say on the Day of Judgment, ‘Son of Adam, I was sick but you did not visit Me.’

‘My Lord, How could I visit You when You are the Lord of the Worlds?’

‘Did you not know that one of My servants was sick and you didn’t visit him? If you had visited him you would have found Me there.’

Then Allah will say, ‘Son of Adam, I needed food but you did not feed Me.’

‘My Lord, How could I feed You when You are the Lord of the Worlds?’

‘Did you not know that one of My servants was hungry but you did not feed him? If you had fed him you would have found its reward with Me.’

‘Son of Adam, I was thirsty, but you did not give Me something to drink.’

‘My Lord, How could I give a drink when You are the Lord of the Worlds?’

‘Did you not know that one of My servants was thirsty but you did not give him a drink? If you had given him a drink, you would have found its reward with Me.’ (Al-Bukhari)
