Why give fidya

The crisis in Yemen is described as the world's largest humanitarian disaster. Today, Yemen is on the brink of a famine, and in the coming months, thousands are expected to die due to lack of food and medicine. 22 million people in need of urgent humanitarian aid, 60% of the total population are food insecure.

Here are a few examples of situations when you need to pay Kaffarah: 

• Intentionally eating food or drinking water
• Sanitation systems are failing
• Only half of the health facilities function
• The UN has described the crisis as 'catastrophic and rapidly deteriorating'.
