Yemen

More than a decade of conflict in Yemen has created one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises.  

The conflict, coupled with economic downturns and recurring disease, has left over 17 million people food insecure. A total of 4.8 million people are internally displaced, many of whom live in camps. Despite a brief truce in 2022, which alleviated tensions and improved humanitarian access, the situation remains dire and requires urgent action.  

The World Food Programme (WFP) supplies much of the logistics capacity for the humanitarian response in Yemen, supporting other UN agencies and NGOs. 

WFP’s food assistance and the continued support of donors have been instrumental in keeping famine at bay. However, we urgently need to secure additional funding, with operations requiring US$577 million up to October 2025.
