Statement of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, on the Situation in Yemen
09 November 2017
Yemen has historically been 80 to 90 per cent dependent on imported food, medicines and fuel. All ports, including Al Hudaydah, Saleef and Aden, are necessary to meeting Yemen’s needs.
The current blockade crisis is the entire country at risk. Girls, pregnant women and female-headed households are among the most vulnerable.
