The Sana'a Hub, encompassing several districts in Yemen, faces an intricate web of protection risks exacerbated by ongoing conflict, economic instability, and inadequate infrastructure. The presence of unexploded ordnance (UXOs), widespread landmine contamination, and frequent evictions pose significant threats to the safety and well-being of the region's inhabitants. Internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and vulnerable populations such as persons with disabilities (PWDs) and children are particularly at risk. The challenges are compounded by barriers to accessing essential services, including healthcare, rehabilitation, and legal assistance. Discrimination and lack of awareness further hinder effective support for these groups. Despite the concerted efforts of various organizations to provide emergency assistance, legal support, and psychological services, persistent gaps highlight the need for continued and enhanced interventions to effectively address these multifaceted protection challenges.
