How Your Qurbani Helps in Yemen
Yemen: The World's Worst Humanitarian Crisis
Yemen has been described by the United Nations as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Over 21 million people need humanitarian assistance. The conflict, now in its 11th year, has destroyed infrastructure, collapsed the health system, and pushed millions to the brink of famine.
An estimated 17.4 million people are food insecure, with 5 million facing emergency-level hunger. Malnutrition rates are among the highest in the world, particularly affecting children under five.
Qurbani in Yemen
At £90 for sheep/goat and £1,200 for cow, Yemen offers one of the most impactful price points. A single sheep feeds approximately 6-8 people, while a cow feeds 50-70 people. Our Yemeni operations have successfully distributed Qurbani every year since 2016.
Distribution Priorities
- Internally displaced persons in camps across Marib, Aden, and Taiz
- Communities in Hodeidah where food shortages are most severe
- Orphaned children in both urban and rural areas
- Families affected by floods compounding the crisis
For many Yemeni families, Qurbani meat is the only fresh protein they receive all year. Your sacrifice directly addresses malnutrition and brings the joy of Eid to families living through unimaginable hardship.

Eleven years into Yemen's war, the numbers are still staggering. Over 21 million Yemenis depend on humanitarian aid in 2026. More than four million remain internally displaced. Half the country's children under five suffer from stunting because their bodies have not received the protein they need to grow.
Your Qurbani in Yemen reaches families who have not eaten fresh meat in months, sometimes years. For an internally displaced child in a tent in Marib, your sacrifice is not symbolic. It is the dinner they will remember from Eid 2026 for the rest of their life.
Muslims In Need has operated in Yemen continuously since 2015. Our local team distributes across Aden, Marib, Taiz, Hodeidah and rural villages, adjusting routes based on security conditions assessed before every distribution.
How your Qurbani is performed in Yemen
Animals are sourced from local Yemeni livestock markets, supporting farming families whose livelihoods have been crushed by the war. Every animal meets the Shariah age and health requirements before being approved for sacrifice. Sheep and goats must be at least one year old. Cows must be at least two years.
Slaughter is performed by a trained Muslim butcher with tasmiyah ("Bismillah, Allahu Akbar") and takbir, facing the qiblah, using a sharp blade with full blood drainage. Meat is then packaged and distributed Hand to Hand to pre-verified families. No third-party contractors. Every recipient family is logged.

Why Yemen is one of the most rewarding places for Qurbani
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The best of you are those who are best to people." (Mishkat) For a family in Yemen who has lost everything, the kindness of a stranger across the world reaches them in the form of a meal that brings tears to a parent's eyes.
When poverty is this deep, fresh meat carries weight beyond its nutrition. For a Yemeni mother, being able to put a meal of lamb in front of her children on Eid restores something the war has taken: her ability to provide for her family.
