It is the month in which Quran was revealed. This year people are going through too difficult circumstances because Yemen undergoes armed fighting and devastating wars. Consequently, the situation escalated and this led to the lack of the basic necessities of life. As a result, the prices of goods were raised& other goods disappeared from the local markets. In addition, lack of food security increased from 65% to 75% during war time. Not only this but also one million children are suffering from malnutrition. All the above reasons have negatively affected people‟s life & their standard of living. As a result, a lot of families have displaced to safer places to get away from the conflict areas. 95% of the stores in the conflict areas, especially in Taiz, have closed. Public services such as electricity, water and sewer services have stopped. Government offices as well as the development process have stopped working. This directly affected laborers‟ standard of living in their daily wages. Moreover, private sectors workers have been laid off because stores, institutions and companies have closed in the conflict areas. Unemployment has increased to 65% among the youth and poverty reached its highest level due to the current war & the lack of job opportunities that will lead to starvation crises whose direct victims will be those families who have no income or have lost the person who supports them ,either because of death or disability, both caused by war. Based on this and with Qatar Red Crescent efforts, we supported and helped the affected people of war & the displaced in the most damaged areas. And to alleviate the sufferings of the poorest families, Qatar Red Crescent financed “Breakfasting” project by providing the affected families and the displaced ones in ( Taiz, Hajja & Abyan) with food baskets in Ramadan. This report aims at conveying the real and difficult living image of the target groups, to what extent they benefit from the given aids & showing field results and goals fulfillment rates of the project on which the recommendations and suggestions were put. Such recommendations and suggestions were based on the tangible reality which showed how urgent the need is for repeating and expanding such projects. [4] As the Yemeni society suffers from calamities and destruction due to the current war which led to the displacement of people and increased the rate of unemployment as the laborers who most of them are youth work for daily wage or in stores, companies or private institutions. Most of this working class stopped working especially in the areas which are witnessing war and armed confrontations. Based on the goals of the Qatar Red Crescent efforts and Bena Charity for Human Development in providing humanitarian aids for the displaced, the affected by war and the poorest, „Breakfasting" project was executed and targeted (4320) families that contain (30240 ) members in three Yemeni governorates to alleviate the sufferings of the displaced, the affected by war and the poorest as well as the vulnerable groups (widows, children, orphans, & the disabled) by providing food baskets in the Holy month of Ramadan, as follows: - A food basket consisting of ( 25 kilos of flour, 10 kilos of sugar, 10 kilos of Basmati rice, 1.8 liter of oil, 4 kilos of Chinese beans). - (160) Basmati rice bags were given from the difference in the oil amount which was 2 liters in the contract and was exchanged by 1.8 liter. This was executed in Sana'a. The families and the target areas were carefully chosen. The areas were chosen based on being the most in need and which were not targeted before and witnessed the displacement of many families while the families were chosen based on being the neediest and poorest and being vulnerable.
