--UN humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien
"Unicef has already warned 1.4m children could starve to death this year."
"Mr O'Brien said $4.4bn (£3.6bn) was needed by July to avert disaster."
"We stand at a critical point in history," Mr O'Brien told the Security Council on Friday. "Already at the beginning of the year we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the United Nations."
"It is thought a child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen from a preventable disease, while half-a-million children under five are suffering from severe acute malnutrition."
"The UN estimates some 19 million people - or two thirds of Yemen's population - is in need of some sort of humanitarian help following two years of war between Houthi insurgents and the government, which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition."
Please stand up by sending help via World Vision, Mennonite Central Committee, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, American Friends Service Committee, etc.
Continue to witness against the current wars and inequalities and injustices which are the primary cause of these crises.
In this heartbreaking disaster, please open your heart.
In the Light,
Daniel Wilcox
