HIGHLIGHTS:
• The food security situation in Yemen remains alarming, with WFP data showing that nearly two-thirds of households nationwide remain unable to obtain their minimum food needs.
• At the same time, UNICEF and Médecins Sans Frontières are warning of a critical and deteriorating nutrition situation in Yemen.
• As WFP faces a complete pipeline break for its moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) management programme in areas under the Sana’a-based authorities, UNICEF will take over all high-risk MAM cases, including in 59 high priority districts previously covered by WFP.
• WFP Yemen remains severely underfunded and is just 20 percent funded for the next six months (May – October 2025), with a net funding requirement of US$ 564 million.
