2024 UNFPA humanitarian response In Yemen

Resource date: Mar 2024

After nine years of conflict, the needs in Yemen remain immense. Over half of the country’s population, 18.2 million people, require some form of humanitarian assistance in 2024.

This is the result of multiple, overlapping emergencies pummelling the country: Violent conflict, economic collapse, recurrent climate-change-induced disasters, and severely disrupted public services, with recent regional conflict dynamics adding further layers of vulnerability.

Women and girls are hardest hit and their health needs remain urgent.
