SITUATION OVERVIEW

In August 2016, humanitarian partners released the Revised 2016 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan (YHRP), resulting in a 7 per cent decrease in the number of people targeted with assistance, and 9.3 per cent decrease in financial requirements. Response progress and funding levels will be measured against revised targets and requirements starting in this issue of the Dashboard. These decreases have been driven primarily by funding shortages and more focused prioritization. They do not reflect improvements in the dire humanitarian situation. With intensified air strikes and ground clashes, as well as continued bureaucratic impediments, humanitarian space in Yemen continues to shrink. Despite many challenges, humanitarian partners have provided direct assistance to 4.6 million people since January 2016. As of 5 October, donors had contributed US$762.4 million to the 2016 YHRP, or 47 per cent of total revised requirements ($1.63 billion).
