Yemen Joint Response 2019

After more than three years of escalating conflict, Yemeni people continue to bear the brunt of ongoing hostilities and severe economic decline. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), an alarming 22.2 million people in Yemen need some kind of humanitarian or protection assistance and 11.3 million people are in acute need. More than half the population are living in areas directly affected by the war, and essential basic services have or are partly collapsed. Given the extent of the crisis, Save the Children, as part the Dutch Relief Alliance Joint Response, will focus on providing live-saving humanitarian assistance. Integrated activities support the vulnerable households across Yemen to meet their Food Security, Livelihoods (FSL), and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) needs.
