Emergency Aid for Yemen Flood Victims | August 2024
As Yemen grapples with a cholera outbreak and escalating food insecurities, 34,000+ families were displaced from unprecedented flooding and windstorms in August and into September. Some areas witnessed entire communities wiped out. Displaced families were in desperate need of emergency support as infrastructure services were severely affected, worsening the existing crisis.
Comfort Aid International in partnership with WABIL immediately allocated funds to distribute emergency food packages, blankets, pillows and mattresses.

Blankets Drive | Winter 2024
Afghanistan, Syria, parts of Pakistan, and India experience severe winters, especially in remote areas. Sadly, many impoverished, old, infirm, and very young do not see the light of day as they succumb to hypothermia. This tragedy is avoidable with a contribution of US$32 per person. A thick, sturdy blanket will provide lifesaving warmth to an infirm, old individual, a widow, and her child.
This winter, Comfort Aid International will distribute lifesaving blankets to new recipients in different remote areas of Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, and Yemen.
The goal is to distribute about 7,700 blankets in these countries at approximately US$248,000. To take advantage of the lower prices, we must commit to purchasing these blankets now, as the prices will increase by 25% in December.
Please pledge or donate [select Disaster/Blankets] to sponsor one or more blankets to help save a life!
