Ongoing conflict is devastating Yemen. 82 per cent of the population require some kind of humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs or protect their fundamental rights. The severity of needs among vulnerable people has intensied across sectors.
More than 10 months of conflict have severely exacerbated Yemen’s prior large-scale humanitarian emergency. Current estimates suggest that 21.2 million people require assistance - an increase of one-third since the crisis began in mid-march 2015. Major increases in need have occurred since the June 2015 Humanitarian Needs Overview in key sectors, including food security, nutrition and shelter. Displacement and human rights violations have also risen considerably.
