Liverpool teen jumps 15,000 feet to raise money for children's hospital

A Liverpool teenager jumped 15,000 feet in a charity skydive to help raise money for a maternity and children's hospital in Yemen.

Josie Theobald was "nervous" before taking on the skydive in Perth, Australia, but said she was determined to find a way to support the Al-Sabeen hospital.

The charity, Habibti, aims to raise £40,000 to support Yemeni health workers providing vital life saving services for vulnerable babies and children. UNICEF has described the ongoing war in Yemen as one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world.
