WFP Yemen Situation Report #6, 15 May 2015
  •  As of 15 May, in response to the ongoing crisis, WFP has provided 1.3 million people with emergency food assistance since 15 April 2015.
  • The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) devised an operational plan for the five-day humanitarian pause (12 May—17 May). WFP will capitalise on this opportunity to provide urgent food assistance to beneficiaries by implementing an emergency food distribution plan to serve 738,000 food insecure and conflict affected people in Aden, Al-Dhale, Shabwah, Lahj, Abyan, Sa'ada, and Hajja. A nutrition-related intervention, specifically targeting women and children at health centres (24,800 beneficiaries with 321mt) is planned for Sada’a, Lahj, Abyan, Aden and Al Dhale Governorates.
  • In light of the urgent need for fuel for humanitarian operations in Yemen, 420,000 litres of fuel arrived in Hodeidah on the WFP-chartered MV Amsterdam. This fuel will be allocated to partners through the inter-agency coordination mechanism of the Logistics Cluster and is currently being transported to WFP warehouses in Sana’a and Hodeidah for further distribution.
