Why YEMEN
Yemen remains the scene of one of the largest, most severe, and most complex humanitarian crises in the world. With 80% of the population in need of dire humanitarian assistance, for many, everyday life is a struggle for survival. After years of protracted conflict, economic collapse, and the near-breakdown of public institutions, millions of women, men, girls, and boys are trapped in conditions that threaten their very survival. For many families, the struggle is no longer about coping – it is about simply staying alive from one day to the next, in the face of deepening poverty, hunger, disease, and displacement.
YEMEN’S HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
Needs are not only widespread; they are acute, overlapping, and increasingly catastrophic. Large segments of the population face crisis or worse levels of food insecurity, while access to essential health, WASH, education, and protection services has eroded to the point where preventable diseases, malnutrition, and protection risks are surging. Recurrent climate shocks, including devastating floods and prolonged droughts, are further intensifying vulnerabilities and undermining already exhausted coping mechanisms.
Without immediate, large-scale, and principled humanitarian assistance, the situation is expected to deteriorate even further. More households will slip into emergency and catastrophic levels of need, excess morbidity and mortality will rise, and hard-won gains will be rapidly reversed. The urgency to act is not only critical – it is existential for millions of people in Yemen.
