Hintergrundinformation


Yemen has continued to remain the site of numerous armed conflicts since 2015. Allegations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) violations are widespread, with tens of thousands of civilians reported wounded or killed as well as health facilities, schools and other public infrastructure indiscriminately attacked. Health facilities are also often caught in the crossfire and are chronically undersupplied, underequipped and understaffed.

The fighting has led to widespread displacement, families have been dispersed by violence, detention and migration. The majority of the population lives in food insecurity and is heavily reliant on humanitarian aid. The World Food Programme (WFP) estimates malnutrition rates in the country to be among the highest in the world.

In April 2022, the parties to the conflict agreed to a UN-brokered truce. However, despite the cessation in hostilities, the civilian population continues to suffer as food and commodity prices are on the rise and the collapsed health-system can not provide basic coverage, let alone deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ICRC together with the Yemen Red Crescent Society has therefore put a strong emphasis on sustaining the availability of life-saving healthcare services as well as covering the most basic needs of affected households, including the provision of food and water. Furthermore, the movement partners are supporting conflict affected households, internally displaced families and host communities alike to become more self sufficient in terms of food production as well as income generation.
