The money requested is to help the most vulnerable people in 33 countries, and even though it'll drop the need for aid in many countries it will not dent most of the world's crisis.
91 million of the 136 million people across the world are in desperate need of humanitarian aid due to natural disasters, political conflicts, and epidemics.
It is estimated that 130 children are dying every day in Yemen, and the number is rising by the minute. According to Helle Thorning-Schmidt, CEO of Save The Children International children in Yemen are dying of diseases that were overcome in many places over 100 years ago, including cholera.
20 of the 25 million people in Yemen are in desperate need of aid and close to 9 million are hanging on by a thread due to the lack of food. With all the blockades, it is almost impossible get resources for the people in need.
U.N. humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock has made several requests to the Saudi-led coalition to lift the air, sea and land blockade on Yemen that it imposed after a missile attack.
Down below are heart breaking pictures of some of the children suffering from the civil war.

It is very disheartening to see those images from Yemen. Why can't Saudi Arabia stop bombing their brothers- I thought they are muslims too. The US is well aware of what is happening but are benefiting greatly from this. Its no wonder Trump was all smiles when he signed arms deals worth 100 billion with Saudis. Where does he think these weapons will be used/ being used ?

Well, if this goes like a typical UN funded (anything) then the person in charge will hire himself, and all of his family as special teachers, overseers, accountants...
Then they will go to the foreign country and schmooze with the leader at some high priced parties.
And then they will help the cholera outbreak to expand (or get it started as the did in Haiti)
Finally, they will ask for more money, to keep the parties going.
I wouldn't invest one dime in the UN until they actual start doing anything close to what they say they are to do.
Further, the words "Human Rights" are the most insidious, most awful, most evil thing ever. But, those of us who went to govern-cement schools will never know this, because we aren't taught anything.
If you are a human, you are on the same level as a cow.
You are a man. (or woman)
Human, or hue-man, means the color of a man. Just like the color of law. You are a not a man, you are a thing pretending to be a man. If you are just pretending to be a man, then you can be treated the same as a cow.
Further, the UN's "Human Rights" can be revoked at any time.
A man has rights given by God and they can never be removed.

This is incredibly sad, it is heartbreaking to see people suffer. I wonder if SmartCash would be a viable possibility as an effective solution to bring resources to help this crisis. If you pitch the idea to the SmartHive and if 75% of the people vote yes you receive all of the money requested. This is very sad, and I believe Cryptocurrency could provide solutions to help this unnecessary suffering.

I thought I would see my Nation (Venezuela) up there with the rest of these... I suppose our issues are not as grave or severe, but for our Lord's sake, PLEASE help us, please help Venezuela... We were not too long ago a very prosperous Nation, and today, look at us: we are a cradle of drug-dealing, a haven for crime and impunity, and a nest of vipers... A breeding place for World-Wide terrorism; the USA, the UK, NATO and the UN will definitely not want this downwards spiral to continue, this crisis to deepen... Our people are also suffering a great deal, we need the World's help NOW, before it is too late, before we become like these countries right here on this list!

The image of that woman holding her malnourished kid... just breaks my heart. It is amazing how much suffering goes on in the world, considering all of the technology we possess. How long until we use it to pull people out of abject poverty?

According to UNICEF statistics:
About 29,000 children under the age of five – 21 each minute – die every day, mainly from preventable causes.
More than 70 per cent of almost 11 million child deaths every year are attributable to six causes: diarrhoea, malaria, neonatal infection, pneumonia, preterm delivery, or lack of oxygen at birth.
