Yemen Context Overview
Yemen is in 168th place out of 177 on the United Nations Human Development Index, the lowest in the Arab states, with 48.5% of its population classified as Multidimensionally poor. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has led to a significant deterioration in the socio-economic situation for many vulnerable individuals. Yemenis are currently facing challenging times, with a substantial number of people displaced, jobless, and without a stable source of income. As a result, many have been forced to resort to negative coping strategies, such as selling household assets, reducing the number of daily meals, relying entirely on humanitarian assistance, accumulating debt, withdrawing children from school, and cutting back on essential expenses like healthcare and education.
