Throughout the world we can see how hundreds of millions of people are suffering through the horrors of war and ethnic cleansing, from bombing landmines and massacres. Millions of refugees throughout the world live in squalid camps, hoping one day to return to their ruined homes, many waiting to be reunited to their loved ones, every day not knowing whether they are dead or alive.
The mission of Verozi Foundation is to save lives by eliminating hunger especially during and after emergency situations of war & conflict. Verozi Foundation and our local partners will do our best to bring relief to people affected and help them rebuild their lives.
US, Israel – Iran War
On 28 February 2026 the United States and Israel started an armed conflict with surprise airstrikes on sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several other Iranian officials as well as inflicting dozens of civilian casualties. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases, and US-allied countries in the Middle East. Hezbollah and Yemeni Houthi’s have entered the war on the side of Iran. It is likely that other countries will enter the war and there is a possibility that it will spiral into a world war. The next 2-4 years is the most dangerous period in human history. The threat of nuclear war hangs over the world.
The current global system was built on a foundation of cheap energy, particularly oil. Everything from international trade to food production to the way cities are designed depends on abundant, affordable energy. And that foundation has become unstable. Since the start of this war oil prices have more than doubled. As oil prices increase this will have a knock on affect on all aspects of life.
War in Ukraine
It is almost four years & six months since the conflict in Ukraine escalated and with an estimated 400,000 and 1.5 million casualties (killed and wounded). Millions of people are still going without essentials like electricity, warmth and water. Countless homes, schools, hospitals and important infrastructure have been destroyed. Many people spent winter living in damaged, freezing cold homes. More than 7 million people have fled Ukraine completely, leaving behind everything they have ever known, including their loved ones.
Yemen Crisis
Since 2014, Yemen has been in the midst of a civil war. It has regularly been called the ‘world’s worst humanitarian crisis’ by the United Nations and other organizations. It About 13 million people are facing starvation and 80 percent of the country’s population (or around 23.2 million) require humanitarian aid.
Yemen is one of the most water-poor countries in the world. It has no rivers, and rainfall has been decreasing. It is in danger of running out of water. Much of the water that is available is consumed by agriculture, especially for fruit, vegetables and the narcotic khat. Only 55 percent of Yemeni households have access to safe drinking water, and this number shrinks to 35 percent in rural areas. The conflict is destroying the country’s infrastructure; schools, roads, bridges, hospitals and homes are hit regularly with bombs, particularly from air raids.
Dangerous combinations of factors, driven by conflict and economic decline and now exacerbated by COVID-19, have compounded the dire situation for Yemen. In Yemen, there remains a huge need for food, safe water and sanitation. The UN is warning that Yemen faces the worst famine the world has seen for decades. 24.1 million People rely on aid to survive.
War in Sudan
Since the conflict began on April 15, 2023, almost 150,000 people have been killed, and more than 8.2 million have been displaced, giving rise to the worst displacement crisis in the world. Nearly 2 million displaced Sudanese have fled to unstable areas in Chad, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, overrunning refugee camps and prompting concerns that Sudanese refugees could soon attempt to enter Europe. The UN continues to plead for more support as more than 25 million need humanitarian assistance, and deteriorating food security risks are triggering a “hunger crisis.”
