Yemen is facing the world’s largest food security crisis following two and a half years of airstrikes, armed clashes and attacks on civilian infrastructure, which have also enabled the spread of cholera at an unprecedented scale. Yemini people are increasingly exhausting their coping mechanisms and as a result the humanitarian crisis remains extremely widespread. The expansion of the conflict has also led to large-scale displacement compounded with existing high levels of vulnerability, including high rates of malnutrition.
Objectives
FAO is working with partners in the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster to:
• Improve immediate household availability of and access to food for the most vulnerable populations.
• Ensure equitable access to assistance and protection for the most vulnerable populations.
• Improve household food security for at-risk groups by supporting agricultural, livestock and fishery systems and assets.
• Strengthen emergency preparedness and response capacity of partners, communities and authorities
