Yemen Joint Response 2020

After years of escalating conflict, Yemeni people continue to bear the brunt of ongoing hostilities and severe economic decline. More than half the population are living in areas directly affected by the war, and essential basic services have or are partly collapsed. Furthermore, Yemen is in the midst of a fast spreading cholera outbreak, which has led to a significant upsurge in cases of acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/suspected cholera cases. 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 basic needs.
