The instability in most of these countries is still prominent with Syria catching global headlines frequently as it has sparked a global crisis in which many countries are supporting several different sides. Yemen, although hitting less in the spotlight, is also suffering since it's revolt in 2011. Houthi militants entered the capital of Sana'a in 2014 and managed to take control of the government while the president fled to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

Donor fatigue has been a key issue for the Yemeni crisis. A recent story published by Al Jazeera has also shed light on the fact that when donations do arrive they sometimes aren't what the people need. The story talks of a man who needs to feed his family but receives blankets and mattresses. Luckily, this man was able to sell these in the market and then buy food for his family as these did not have value to him. There is a clear need for donors to give to charities who are present in Yemen in order to combat starvation which currently impacts hundreds of thousands.
