Yemen

After nine years of war, Yemen remains one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. The still ongoing hostilities have led to widespread displacement, with over 4.5 million individuals forced to flee their homes. An estimated population of the population—21.6 million people—are in dire need of humanitarian assistance and protection services, including 24 million women and children. The country ranks among the most food-insecure globally, with half of its population living in poverty, without access to safe water. The conflict has also significantly disrupted essential services, leaving only 50% of hospitals fully or partially functioning. Moreover, the blockade of key ports has restricted essential supplies, with limited aid arriving through Aden, impeding healthcare, sanitation, and food security. After nine years of conflict that have pushed Yemen to the brink of economic collapse and shrunk the economy by more than half, rampant inflation and few livelihood opportunities mean many can no longer afford basic meals, facing heightened risks of starvation, gender-based violence, exploitation, and early marriage. Although reduced conflict since April 2022 has brought fewer casualties and some relief, the situation remains fragile without a sustainable political settlement.
