After more than a decade of crisis, civilians in Yemen continue to suffer the devastating consequences of armed conflict, economic collapse, and climate shocks.
By 2025, over 19 million people will need humanitarian assistance (source OCHA), with women, elderly, people with disabilities and internally displaced persons among the most affected.
With the collapse of state institutions, administrative structures as well as military and security forces, the country lacked the safeguards needed to protect the human rights and freedoms of the Yemeni people.
Alarmingly, over a third of violence occurs in urban areas, leading to civilian casualties, the destruction of critical infrastructure, and widespread unexploded ordnance that threatens lives long after the fighting ends.
“Over 19 million Yemenis will need humanitarian assistance in 2025.”
