UN Launches Humanitarian Response Plan for Yemen: $2.47 Billion Target to Aid 10.5 Million Vulnerable People
The United Nations has announced the launch of a humanitarian response plan in Yemen, aiming to raise $2.47 billion to address the needs of 10.5 million of the country’s most vulnerable people.
Julian Harneis, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, emphasized that this effort seeks to deliver life-saving assistance to those hardest hit by the ongoing crisis.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the decade-long conflict in Yemen has left a significant toll on communities still enduring the consequences of the war. The statement revealed that over half of Yemen’s population—approximately 19.5 million people—require humanitarian aid and protection services. Vulnerable and marginalized groups, including women and girls, face heightened risks amidst the crisis.
The report highlighted that growing humanitarian needs are driven by economic deterioration, climate shocks, and regional escalations. Around half of Yemen's population is experiencing acute food insecurity, while more than 13 million people lack access to sufficient clean water. Additionally, only 40% of health facilities are partially functioning, with some entirely out of service.
The UN further stated that the plan is rooted in the voices and needs of local communities, ensuring the delivery of cost-effective and high-quality assistance to those affected by the crisis, regardless of their location.
