The State of Hunger in Yemen

Ongoing violence and insecurity have pushed millions of Yemeni people into a devastating humanitarian crisis. Even before the current conflict, families were facing severe hardship in Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab world.

In addition to conflict, the high rates of hunger in Yemen are driven by lack of clean water, diverse and healthy food, and income as well as disease outbreaks and recurring natural disasters.

We train mothers and community leaders on healthy and safe practices to feed infants and young children.

Our teams provide female-headed households with cash transfers to help them support their families.

To conserve energy and prevent power outages, we've installed solar panels in our health facilities and field offices, using local materials.
