2024 Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response: A Year In Review
2024 was another trying year for the people of Yemen. As the country moved into its tenth year of conflict, more than half the country’s population required humanitarian assistance and protection services. Economic shocks, weakened essential services, and climate hazards compounded the decade-long protection and humanitarian crisis.
This year, civilians benefitted from reduced hostilities due to the de facto continuation of the 2022 six-month Unbrokered truce. Conflict-induced displacement decreased further, and new road openings—notably in Ta’iz and Marib—helped to increase civilians’ freedom of movement and the flow of commercial goods, enhance access to public services, and facilitate returns across frontlines. However, other risks emerged in 2024 with negative impacts for millions of people in need, including escalating regional conflict, widespread economic decline, and disruptions to lifesaving assistance due to funding shortfalls.
