With profound sorrow and grief, MAAKUM Development Foundation mourns the passing of the late Mr. Wissam Qaed, Acting Director of the Social Fund for Development, who was tragically killed in a brutal, treacherous, and cowardly assassination. His loss represents a significant setback to humanitarian and development efforts in Yemen.

The deceased was a highly capable and impactful leader, known for his strong support of initiatives and his dedication to advancing development efforts. He leaves behind a clear and lasting legacy across various humanitarian and development sectors.
The Foundation calls upon all relevant authorities and concerned entities to assume their full responsibilities in ensuring the necessary protection for humanitarian workers, pursuing the perpetrators, and bringing them to justice in a manner that upholds the rule of law and safeguards humanitarian action.
We extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to his family, colleagues, loved ones, and to all of Yemen.
Indeed, to God we belong and to Him we shall return.
