CARE is mentioned in Nick Kristof’s opinion piece on the war in Yemen. No longer able to provide assistance to the civil population, CARE’s President comments on the suffering of children.
“Michelle Nunn, the president of CARE, told me that American aid cuts mean that her organization can no longer assist more than 730,000 Yemenis with clean water and other services. She told me about a 2-year-old girl, Maryam, who arrived at a mobile clinic weighing just 11 pounds and near death from malnutrition. CARE health workers were able to revive Maryam, and she began to recover — and then U.S.A.I.D. terminated the program. Aid workers don’t know if Maryam survived.“
