Situation Overview and Needs: Health Cluster partners identified 14.8 million people in need of health assistance in the 2017 HNO. In light of access and security constraints, the 2017 Health Cluster response plan targets 10.4 million people in 2017, including the 8.8 million people identified as facing acute health needs in the HNO. According to Health Cluster analysis, the main causes of avoidable deaths in Yemen are communicable diseases, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions (together accounting for 50 per cent of mortality) and non-communicable diseases (39 per cent of mortality). As the health system has continued to collapse as a result of the conflict, people’s inability to access healthcare for these conditions is having a catastrophic effect.
