Yemen: The Cost of Inaction (as of 5 May 2024)

After nine years of conflict,18.2 million people in Yemen require humanitarian assistance and protection services.
Economic decline, deteriorating public services and infrastructure, and displacement induced by conflict and climate-related disasters continue to drive the humanitarian crisis. Rising food and malnutrition insecurity, particularly among pregnant and lactating women, older people, children, IDPs and Muhamasheen - and the spread of cholera during the current rainy season, pose threats to communities across the country. Violations of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law continue, and the presence of explosive remnants of war results in death, injury and displacement, restricts access to agricultural land and resettlement and hinders durable solutions.
