Overview

Yemen remains one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises, with an estimated 18.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and protection services in 2024. Despite the de facto continuation of the truce on the ground, the country still faces the brunt of conflict and displacement, protection concerns, climate change, and economic deterioration.

By the end of April, the 2024 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan, seeking $2.71 billion to implement the most prioritized activities needed for the most vulnerable people, was only 21.5 per cent funded. Even though $2.27 billion remains in unmet funding requirements, the aid agencies are working tirelessly to provide people in need with crucial assistance and services.

In the first four months of 2024, a total of 152 humanitarian organizations continued to deliver aid to an average of 2.84 million people per month. While the number of people reached with assistance per cluster remained low, partners continued to provide support to millions of people – an average of 2 million people were reached each month with food assistance, over 511,000 people were assisted with healthcare, over 638,000 people were provided with water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services, and nearly 315,000 people received nutrition support.
