After our first mission to Wadi Ahmed area in the capital Sana'a in which we have seen vulnerable families and IDPs living there in a very bad condition.
We got back to that area again but this time with much more blankets in an attempt by monareliefye.org to help people there.
In our today's mission we could deliver 140 families blankets funded by an anonymous Kuwaiti donor.
Pictures here showing you the real situation of families there.
Facts about Wadi Ahmed area
Wadi Ahmed in the capital Sana'a is located in eastern Sana'a and it is the most populated area in the capital Sana'a.
This area is a full of many vulnerable families and IDPs, who fled from Sa'ada, Taiz and Hajjeh governorates to this area. Most families there are under the level of poverty line, they don't have enough food, or clean water and they don't have any kid of furniture such as beds or blankets, children there are in dire need for everything, they don't have clothes or shoes to wear as most pictures showing you the real situation of families there.
In brief, the Wadi Ahmed area is a full of diseases and most children there don't receive any kind of health care services or any kind of education. I have seen many disabled who living in a very bad situation.
Mona Relief's volunteers conducted a survey for most needy families and IDPs, when we could entered to most houses in that area we shocked for the situation of families there.

Keeping a fence around your thoughts and feelings can be quite easy. Which is why my one good photo a day is quite uncomfortable.
I am making myself vulnerable. Exposing a creative side to me that people may not like, think silly, ugly, ridiculous even.
But my focus, is on the fun. To see what it looks like over time. To share with my kids one day. And ultimately, to understand and get better at photography.
But still. It is not easy. I'm fighting the urge to keep up the fence with every photo.
Endemic to Sumatra, this vulnerable monkey – like the orangutan – is threatened by habitat loss.
Gunung Leuser National Park is a UNESCO heritage site, and the only habitat of the few remaining Sumatran orangutans…

These ones are so vulnerable to cats and predators in the early days. Not a lot of colour, but then that's the point.
'We're an oyster cracker on the stew,
And the honey in the tea,
We're the sugar cubes, one lump or two,
In the black coffee,
The golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
We're a wheel of cheese high in the sky,
But we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
In a boat that's built of sticks and hay,
We drifted from the shore,
With a captain who's too proud to say,
That he dropped the oar,
Now a tiny hole has sprung a leak,
In this cheap pontoon,
Now the hull has started growing weak,
And we're gonna be sinkin' soon.
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
We're gonna be sinkin' soon
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
We're gonna be
Sinkin' soon,
Everybody hold your breath 'cause,
Down and down we go.
Like the oyster cracker on the stew,
The honey in the tea
The sugar cubes, one lump or two?
No thank you none for me.
We're the golden crust on an apple pie,
That shines in the sun at noon,
Like the wheel of cheese high in the sky
Well ... we're gonna be sinkin' soon.'

Monarelief's ground crew carried out a new mission of helping most vulnerable families in Yemen. Our project this time was in Hodeidah in western Yemen, where there is 100000s families living under the poverty line and they can't find any resource to feed their families.
Our project to feed 500 families with urgent food aid was funded by Ikhwan Thabet Company in Hodeidah governorate.
Our mission this time wasn't easy but it was very hard, due to the complicated situation in the governorate and we spent almost a day trying to find a place to gather beneficiaries in and in order to be able to deliver them the food supply, but no one allowed us do so.
Finally, we resorted to choosing the area of the culture center which was hit this year by Saudi jets, destroying the whole center, forcing all employees there to lose their job.
During our food delivery, we heard several stories which they are reflecting the suffer of most families in the city. Our food supply delivered to families from al-Haly, Al-Hawak and al-Mayna'a districts of Hodeidah. Our volunteers work hard to find these 500 families within the 3 districts of Hodeidah.
Pictures showing you the destructions occurred by Saudi regime in the Culture Center.
Some stories we heard during the distribution process in Hodeidah.
People's needs are high comparing to what we are delivering. if we reached out 500 families with food supply but there is many others couldn't be reached out because our capability is limited and the needs are high in Hodeidah in western Yemen.
"If I have enough food in my home. I won't be here," she says. Most food aid delivered by Int'l NGOs didn't reach out the most needy families. Most people I met during @monarelief's last distribution in Hodeidah complaining and repeating the same.
Another woman told her story.
"I have got this bread from many places today," showing me her bag.
Believe me my son if I have anything inside my home to feed my 9-member family, I won't be now here in front of you begging u 2 help me.'' We are not able to continue. she says Hodeidah.
Once before happened in front of me and today the same thing has repeated again. People in Hodeidah in western #Yemen are hungry and they are fighting each other to get food. That is unfortunately, is completely true but could hear their voice.
The story of people in Hodeidah saying that there is many and many families who they don't have any idea how to get food to feed their children, I have seen many people begging to just get anything from the others. #Yemen
Here is one picture of many others pictures for the destructions committed by Saudi regime in #Yemen

I love this picture and my sister looks so beautiful even if posing sad and vulnerable.
...I was swimming, I was fighting. And then I thought, just for a second, I thought, what's the point. And then I let go, I stopped fighting. Don't tell anybody...

Elderly people are particularly vulnerable during displacement. The Norwegian Refugee Council, in cooperation with UNHCR, conducts protection monitoring in all North Kivu’s areas of displacement and return. NRC identifies vulnerable people and protection threats and possible solutions are sought in consultation with displaced communities in collaboration with other organisations responsible for protecting DRC’s displaced civilians.
