Humanitarian Context in Yemen

Behind every number, there is a person
who deserves a dignified life.

Yemen continues to face a protracted humanitarian crisis, shaped by the combined effects of conflict, economic deterioration, displacement, and climate shocks. These challenges place a heavy burden on millions of families and limit their ability to secure food, water, healthcare, and safety.

More than 22
million people

need humanitarian assistance and protection services during 2026, according to the United Nations plan.

Every child has the right to safety.

Food, healthcare, shelter, and education are basic rights, and protecting them is a shared humanitarian responsibility.
