UN Yemen Country Results Report 2023

United Nations Country Team in Yemen:The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Yemen comprises representatives from 19 United Nations Funds, Programmes, and Specialized agencies, led by the United Nations Resident Coordinator. This team is pivotal in assisting Yemen to meet its development goals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among these members, five agencies operate without a physical presence within the country, highlighting the challenging context in which the UNCT operates. The team collaborates closely with a United Nations Information Centre (UNIC), crucial for disseminating information about the UN’s activities in Yemen.
The activities of the Yemen UNCT are guided by a strategic United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) specifically tailored for Yemen, extending through 2025. Initiated in the 2022, this cooperation framework is a vital planning and implementation tool for the UNCT’s development initiatives in Yemen. It is closely aligned with Yemen’s context and the global 2030 Agenda, setting forth four strategic pillars that lead to specific outcomes and outputs. Oversight and strategic guidance for this framework is provided by the Programme Management Team (PMT) that includes relevant UN agencies. To support its operations, the Yemen UNCT benefits from various coordination mechanisms, including four Results Groups that align with the strategic outcomes of the Cooperation Framework. The framework’s implementation is further supported by an Operations Management Team (OMT), a United Nations Communications Group (UNCG), and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Group (MEL). These entities play a crucial role in ensuring the UN’s work in Yemen is coherent, effective, and efficient, despite the complex challenges faced in the country.

IOM Yemen: IOM Appeals for USD 13.3 Million to Help Hundreds of Thousands Affected by Yemen Floods

Yemen, 5 September – In response to the severe flooding and violent windstorms affecting nearly 562,000 people in Yemen, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has launched a USD 13.3 million appeal to deliver urgent life-saving assistance. The unprecedented weather events have compounded the humanitarian crisis in the country, leaving thousands of internally displaced persons and host communities in dire need of assistance. “Yemen is facing yet another devastating chapter in its relentless crisis, exacerbated by the intersection of conflict and extreme weather events,” said Matt Huber, IOM Yemen’s Acting Chief of Mission. “IOM teams are on the ground, working around the clock to deliver immediate relief to families affected by this catastrophe. However, the scale of the destruction is staggering, and we urgently need additional funding to ensure that the most vulnerable are not left behind. We must act immediately to prevent further loss and alleviate the suffering of those impacted.” In recent months, torrential rains and flooding have destroyed homes, displaced thousands of families, and severely damaged critical infrastructure, including health centres, schools, and roads. Across multiple governorates, including Ibb, Sana’a, Ma’rib, Al Hodeidah, and Ta’iz, thousands of people have been left without shelter, clean water, or access to basic services, and scores of lives have been tragically lost. The storms have struck as the country grapples with a cholera outbreak and escalating food insecurity, further exacerbating the vulnerability of displaced families and strained health systems. As the harsh weather conditions are expected to continue, more households are at risk of displacement and exposure to disease outbreaks due to damaged water and health infrastructure. Ma’rib Governorate has been particularly hard-hit, with strong winds since 11 August severely damaging 73 displacement sites and affecting over 21,000 households. Public services, including electricity networks, have been severely affected, aggravating the crisis in one of Yemen’s most vulnerable regions. Urgent shelter repairs and cash assistance are needed, with healthcare services and sanitation infrastructure among the most immediate priorities. Since early August, floodwaters have damaged shelters, roads, water sources, and medical facilities, leaving over 15,000 families in Al Hodeidah and 11,000 in Ta’iz in desperate need of emergency support. These rains have not only led to tragic loss of life but have also wiped out entire communities’ belongings and means of survival. In response to this crisis, IOM is targeting 350,000 people with shelter, non-food items (NFI), cash-based interventions, health, camp coordination and camp management, and water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions. Distribution of water tanks, latrine repairs, and desludging efforts are ongoing in multiple sites, while health services are being expanded, with mobile teams currently treating over 100 individuals and referring critical cases to hospitals. IOM’s efforts are further supported by emergency response committees working tirelessly to register and verify affected households, relocate displaced families, and reduce the risks of further damage. However, the resources available are insufficient to cover the vast needs, with key gaps remaining, especially in the shelter and NFI sector. With no contingency stocks for essential relief items and the situation growing more critical by the day, immediate funding is necessary to address the most pressing needs on the ground. IOM stands ready to scale up its response but requires the necessary resources to do so. With further severe weather expected in the coming weeks and funding constraints, the Organization is urgently calling on the international community to support this appeal to continue providing lifesaving aid and address the overwhelming needs of those affected.

Statement: Remarks at the pledging event for the FSO Safer operation co-hosted by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom

First, I want echo Achim’s thank you to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands for having organized this event. And for contributing generously. A third element that they both deserve credit for is recognizing early on the promise of a private-sector initiative to address the Safer which the Fahem Group and SMIT Salvage proposed in mid-2021 – a time when the previous UN plan to inspect the Safer was not moving. The initiative called for a leading maritime salvage company to transfer the oil off the Safer and replace the decaying supertanker’s capacity. That was the basis upon which the United Nations principals asked me to lead and coordinate UN system-wide efforts on the Safer, in September 2021. In December 2021, United Nations senior management endorsed the UN-coordinated plan and asked UNDP to implement it, contingent upon donor funding. In February 2021, I met with the Government of Yemen in Aden, which confirmed its support for the plan. They have remained supportive ever since – as evidenced by a $5 million pledge that they made last year. The Sana’a authorities had been favorable to the original initiative, but insisted that it be done under UN auspices. In March 2022, they signed a memorandum of understanding with the UN that committed them to facilitating the operation. A commitment that they continue to honor. The agreement was also signed by myself with the Fahem Group, which has supported engagement in Sana’a on the initiative since 2021 on a voluntary basis. By April 2022, the UN presented a draft operational plan to begin fundraising. The original budget for phase 1 and 2 was $144 million. As Achim said, the Netherlands pledging event in The Hague last May brought in $33 million, which was a catalyst to move us to where we are today. But finding funds to prevent a catastrophe proved far more difficult than finding money for a disaster. In June, we launched a public crowdfunding campaign for the operation. That has now brought in more than $250,000. More importantly, it captured media attention that galvanized further support for the plan. In August, we received the first pledge from a private entity. $1.2 million from the HSA Group. The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers followed with a $10 million pledge and Trafigura Foundation with $1 million. The private sector, we learned, was concerned about its liability linked to a contribution. UNDP, in particular, led the effort to resolve those issues of concern which gives us a basis for further private sector contributions. By September last year, the UN met the target of $75 million to start the operation. Unfortunately, even as UNDP was gearing up to begin, the cost of suitable replacement vessels surged, chiefly due to developments related to the war in Ukraine. More money was also needed to start the initial phase because of the necessity to purchase a replacement vessel – also linked to the war in Ukraine as suitable vessels for lease were no longer available. The budget for the emergency phase – during which the oil will be transferred – is now $129 million. Most of the funding is now required up front in phase one. Now, the second phase only requires $19 million to complete the project. So, the budget of $148 million is just $4 million more than was presented to donors a year ago. Prior to today’s announcements, we had raised $99.6 million from member states, the private sector and the general public. The general public has provided donations from $1 to $5,000. The broad coalition working to prevent the catastrophe also includes environmental groups like Greenpeace and, in Yemen, Holm Akhdar. Every part of the United Nations is involved, including the International Maritime Organization, the UN Environmental Progamme, and the World Food Progamme. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is among those that have worked on the Safer file for years and has now ensured $20 million of bridging finance. That would need to be replenished by donor funding. I also want to recognize the United States for playing a tireless role in mobilizing resources. It is among the top five donors, together with the Netherlands, Germany, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. On 9 March, UNDP’s Administrator took the bold decision to purchase the replacement vessel Nautica – before all of the operation was in place. That is because UNDP recognized the extraordinary problem and understood that the cost of inaction is too great, as Achim outlined. UNDP also contracted the Boskalis subsidiary SMIT Salvage, which played an enormously helpful role in developing the UN plan long before it had a contract. With both the Nautica and the SMIT vessel Ndeavor en route to Djibouti, we expect the operation to start before the end of the month. Therefore, I thank all donors for the generous support, and we look forward to further generous support. But the risk of disaster remains. I am forever thankful to the heroic skeleton crew aboard the Safer that continues to do all it can to keep that vessel together until we can organize this salvage operation. None of us will heave a sigh of relief until the oil is transferred. And we will all heave a final sigh of relief when the critical second phase is completed. This requires that the project is fully funded as described. As everyone has said we are just one step away so lets take the final step. Thank you. , filtered_html

UNITED NATIONS YEMEN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION FRAMEWORK 2022 – 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
UN global reform has elevated the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) to be “the most important instrument for planning and implementing UN development activities” in the country. It outlines the UN development system’s contributions to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in an integrated way, with a commitment to leave no one behind, uphold human rights, Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE), and other international standards and obligations. The UNSDCF seeks to address the humanitarian, development and peace challenges in Yemen in an environment where key public institutions are fragmented, no national strategy exists, and where there has been no national budget since 2014. The Yemen UNSDCF outlines the UN’s collective priorities and development objectives to be reached jointly in the next three years 2022-2024 as part of an ongoing and longer- term vision for resilience building and forging of a pathway to peace.
Yemen is a country in conflict. The priorities of this UNSDCF are derived from the analysis of the impacts of this ongoing crisis on the people of Yemen, and the needs and opportunities as outlined in the UN’s Common Country Analysis (CCA) conducted in 2021.
The UN has prioritized four pillars that resonate with the SDG priorities of people, peace, planet and prosperity that aim, as a matter of urgency, to improve people’s lives in Yemen and build resilience that is equitable, inclusive, people-centred, gender responsive and human rights based, through outcomes that: 1. Increase food security, improving livelihood options, and job creation 2. Preserve inclusive, effective and efficient national and local development systems strengthening 3. Drive inclusive economic structural transformation 4. Build social services, social protection, and inclusion for all
The theory of change is driven by an expectation that by 2024 the impact for all people of all ages in Yemen affected by conflict, forced displacement and living in poverty in all its dimensions will experience change in the quality of their lives. This will be possible through increased food security and nutrition, livelihood options and job creation; preserved national and local development and systems strengthening; inclusive economic structural transformation and the building of social services, social protection and inclusion for all. Food security and nutrition, and sustainable and resilient livelihoods and environmental stability will be realized through effective food production and diversified food and nutrition security; and through sustainable climate sensitive environmental management. Rights-based good governance and inclusive gender sensitive improved public services and rule of law will be possible as a result of accountable, inclusive and transparent institutions and systems, as well as the building of trusted justice systems. Increased income security and decent work for women, youth and vulnerable populations will be realised through micro and macro-economic development and job creation. Strengthened social protection and basic social support service delivery focused on support to marginalized groups, and strengthening women and youth leadership in decision making processes will be supported through the preservation of social protection and expanded and effective social assistance and basic services.
The UNSDCF prioritises the population groups in Yemen that have the highest risk of being left behind due to the impact of conflict; economic, social, geographic or political exclusion; and marginalisation. Enacting the central transformative principle of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, whilst challenging in the Yemen context, does provide the lens through which the UNSDCF targets the most vulnerable and prioritise Leaving No One Behind.
On the basis that some groups in Yemen bear the brunt of the conflict due to forced displacement, livelihood disruption, food insecurity, limited social safety nets, increased levels of poverty and poor-
quality housing, the CCA 2021 identifies the following population groups at the greatest risk of being left behind:
- Women and girls - 73 percent of those displaced in Yemen are women and girls, especially women of reproductive age and adolescent girls
- Children – 60 percent of those killed directly by conflict are children under five
- Youth and adolescents – an estimated 2 million school-age girls and boys are out of school as poverty, conflict, and lack of opportunities disrupt their education
- Internally displaced persons – more than 4 million IDPs with 172,000 newly displaced in 2020 and almost 160,000 in 2021
- Refugees, asylum seekers and migrants – Yemen hosts approximately 138,000 migrants and 140,000 refugees and asylum seekers
- Persons with disabilities – 4.5 million Yemenis have at least one disability
- Ethnic and religious minorities – It is estimated that Muhamasheen represent 10 percent of the population living in marginalised conditions
The UNSDCF is comprised of four chapters. Chapter One: explores Yemen’s progress towards the 2030 Agenda through a detailed analysis of the country context drawing on the 2021 CCA. Chapter Two: presents the theory of change generally and per outcome area. Chapter Three: outlines the UNSDCF’s implementation plan focused on the management structure, resources, links to country programming instruments and Yemen’s Business Operations Strategy. Chapter Four: highlights the process for CCA updates, Monitoring and Evaluation and Learning. The Results Framework presents the outcomes and key performance indicators for monitoring agreed targets utilizing verifiable data sets. Two annexes capture the legal basis for all UN entities engaged in the UNSDCF and the mandatory commitments to Harmonised Approaches to Cash Transfers (HACT)1.
The UNSDCF represents the UN’s understanding that continued engagement in Yemen requires an operational architecture under-pinned by the Business Operations Strategy (BOS) and an integrated set of achievable programming priorities. These two strategic approaches of the UN system strengthen and make more inclusive the country’s national and local governance structures, and mainstream the required responses to the economic and health consequences of COVID-19. They tackle food insecurity and nutrition as a matter of priority and integrate the promotion and advancement of gender equality and women’s and girl’s empowerment. , filtered_html

UNFPA/UNICEF Yemen: Life-saving aid critical as torrential rain sparks deadly floods across Yemen

Sana’a, 15 August 2024As relentless rain and catastrophic flooding in Yemen continue to exacerbate the suffering of families grappling with the impacts of poverty, hunger and protracted conflict, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund and UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, are delivering life-saving aid to some of the most vulnerable individuals through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM). With torrential rains forecast to continue into September, US$4.9 million is urgently needed to scale up the emergency response. Exceptionally heavy seasonal rains have caused flash floods in Yemen which are wreaking havoc in different parts of the country – the governorates of Al Hodeidah, Hajjah, Sa’ada, and Taizz are among the hardest-hit. Homes, shelters, and belongings have been swept away. Since early August, more than 180,000 people have been affected – over 50,000 people have been displaced in Al Hodeidah alone – a figure that is likely to rise in the coming days. Within 72 hours of the floods, over 80,000 people in flood-affected governorates had received emergency relief through the RRM, including ready to eat food rations, hygiene items, and women’s sanitary products. These items offer some immediate relief from the hardships caused by these catastrophic events. “The devastating floods have increased people’s needs, which are tremendous,” said Enshrah Ahmed, UNFPA Representative to Yemen. “Our RRM teams are working round the clock to provide immediate relief to affected families, but with rising needs and severe weather conditions forecasted, the coming weeks and months will be critical to ensuring affected families can pick themselves up and, at the very least, recover their lives.” In 2024, an estimated 82 percent of people supported through the RRM have been severely affected or displaced by climate-related shocks. As a result of the unseasonal levels of rain, the RRM cluster has had to spring into action, overstretching RRM teams, and depleting available supplies and resources. As needs continue to rise, RRM teams are struggling to reach affected families due to damaged roads, the erosion of landmines and unexploded ordnance from frontline to civilian areas. Items included in the RRM package are also in short supply. “The situation in the flooded areas is devastating. UNICEF and partners are on the ground providing urgently needed support to those impacted. The role of the Rapid Response Teams is critical in times of distress such as this one,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative to Yemen.The RRM in Yemen was established in 2018 to provide a minimum package of immediate, critical life-saving assistance during human-made or natural disasters to newly displaced persons, and people in displacement sites or hard-to-reach areas, until the first line cluster response kicks in. The RRM ensures the distribution of immediate, ready-to-eat rations, basic hygiene kits provided by UNICEF, and women’s sanitary items provided by UNFPA, within 72 hours of a displacement alert. *** For more information, please contact UNFPA Taha Yaseen: Tel. +967 712 224090; yaseen@unfpa.org Lankani Sikurajapathy: Tel. +94773411614; sikurajapathy@unfpa.org UNICEF Kamal Al-Wazizah: Tel. +967 712 223 06; kalwazizah@unicef.org, filtered_html

IOM Yemen: A Lifeline Amid Crisis - Combating Cholera in Yemen's Displacement Camps

Ma’rib, Yemen – Life in Al Jufainah Camp, home to over 15,000 displaced families, is a daily battle for survival. In Yemen’s largest displacement site, makeshift shelters are packed tightly along dusty winding paths. Access to clean water is scarce and sanitation facilities are almost out of reach, creating conditions where diseases thrive. Among these, cholera remains the most persistent threat, endangering the lives of families already struggling to survive. Cholera has haunted Yemen since 2016, but by late 2023, the situation spiraled into a full-blown emergency. Cases of severe watery diarrhea began to rise at an alarming rate, prompting the national cholera taskforce to declare the first wave of a new outbreak. In camps like Al Jufainah, where families already struggle with overcrowding and a lack of essentials, the disease hit hardest. Parents watched helplessly as their children became weaker by the day, with limited access to healthcare leaving many with nowhere to turn. Over 240,000 suspected cases have been reported and hundreds of lives have been lost – many of them young children. For Basma, a mother of three who fled Ta’iz in 2018, the outbreak brought fear and uncertainty. “We live in overcrowded spaces, sharing food and water,” she explains. “When the outbreak began, I was terrified for my children. We didn’t know how to protect ourselves or what cholera was.” For Basma, the outbreak was a stark reminder of how fragile life is in the camp. With no reliable healthcare or medical resources, many families turn to traditional remedies, desperate for solutions that rarely work. Basma’s worst fears came to life when her two-year-old son developed severe diarrhea. “He was getting worse by the day, so I rushed him to the health centre in the camp and the doctors acted quickly. I don’t know what would have happened if they hadn’t.” – Basma, Displaced Mother Turning PointThe International Organization for Migration (IOM) opened the Diarrhea Treatment Centre (DTC) in Al Jufainah in 2024, marking a critical turning point for families like Basma’s by providing life-saving care to a community that had long been deprived of adequate health services. Before its establishment, even minor illnesses could quickly escalate into life-threatening emergencies.For Basma, who rushed her two-year-old to the centre fearing cholera, the care she received was immediate and reassuring. The doctors quickly determined that her child’s severe diarrhea was due to teething, not cholera. “Having the centre nearby was a blessing,” she says, relieved that her child recovered within days.“The centre offers free-of-charge and efficient services,” explains Mosaed Abdullah, an IOM Health Assistant in Ma’rib. “We check every patient upon arrival, treat mild cases with oral rehydration, and monitor severe cases with intravenous fluids until they stabilize.” Since its opening, the DTC has treated over 1,500 patients suffering from mild to moderate diarrhea.Recognizing the critical need for accessible healthcare, IOM has played a pivotal role in establishing and operating DTCs and Oral Rehydration Points (ORPs) across eight governorates. “Training our healthcare teams has made a real difference,” says Dr. Fawaz, IOM’s Health Officer in Ma’rib, emphasizing the importance of equipping healthcare workers with the skills needed to manage such crises. Health EducationBeyond treatment, the DTC has become a hub for health education in Al Jufainah. IOM’s health teams regularly promote simple but vital hygiene practices throughout the camp. Teaching families to wash hands with soap and boil water before drinking has significantly reduced the risk of cholera. For Basma, these lessons have been transformative. “I now make sure my children stay clean and drink boiled water. These small steps protect us,” she shares. IOM’s teams also conduct home visits, distribute risk reduction educational materials, and emphasize the importance of consistent hygiene measures. This proactive approach empowers families to take charge of their well-being and helps create a healthier, more resilient community. Despite limited funding and immense strain on Yemen’s health system, IOM remains committed to providing care for the most vulnerable. However, the closure of other health facilities and overcrowding in displacement camps have placed growing pressure on Al Jufainah’s DTC. “We now receive an overwhelming number of cases. Just last month, we treated nearly 700 patients, most of them children under five.” – Mosaed Abdullah, IOM Health Assistant Dedicated CareDespite these efforts, the root causes of disease persist. Overcrowding and the lack of clean water make outbreaks an ever-present risk. “The most pressing challenge is the lack of proper infrastructure,” explains Mosaed. Marib is home to over 230 camps and, by the end of 2023, housed more than two million displaced people, placing immense strain on its already fragile health system.Health workers at the DTC remain dedicated despite the immense challenges they face. “Every recovery reminds us of the importance of our work,” says Aliya Mohammed, a nurse at the center. “Resources may be limited, but watching patients heal motivates us to keep going each day.”IOM’s broader efforts include supporting 20 oral rehydration points, equipping five DTCs with essential supplies, and training healthcare workers in early diagnosis and standard treatments. Yet, sustaining these services requires urgent funding.“Every patient who walks through our doors is someone’s child, parent or sibling,” says Dr. Fawaz. “We need the support to keep these centres running and give families a fighting chance.” , filtered_html

UNICEF Yemen: A Fresh Start: Building the Future Through Education

The education system in Yemen struggles under immense challenges as a result of the ongoing conflict. Damaged and desolated schools have long been unfit for fostering learning and hope. Their crumbling walls tell silent tales of sadness and deprivation. Susan Al-Hubaishi, the principal of Gol Al-Raydah School says that the situation was deplorable. The broken windows would let hot air and dust into classrooms, making classrooms unbearable." The school lacked the essentials to encourage students to stay. It was entirely unsuitable for learning." Thanks to a partnership between UNICEF and Sheikh Abdullah Al Nouri Charity Society from the State of Kuwait, hope evoked. The renovation made hearts of teachers and students smile! Classrooms were renewed, hallways were restored, and windows were replaced to let in fresh air and sunshine.The changes in the school also included provision of a computer lab, which marked a milestone for students in the remote Mayfah district. "This was the biggest achievement" says the school principal. "Access to computers was nearly impossible for girls here. Now, students are excited about learning and love their classes. I’m confident attendance will increase, and the school will continue to improve." Another school smiles again!The partnership between UNICEF and Sheikh Abdullah Al Nouri Charity Society also included the renovation of another school in Sayoon, Hadramout, where happiness prevailed when the students saw their school in a new look.Marwa Jahman, a student at Al-Ta'awoun School, Shahooh, Seiyun, describes her happiness about the changes by saying, "We can now focus better during lessons, the bright colours and the good ventilation have completely changed how we feel about the school. We have gone from hating the school to loving it." Rana Al-Juraidi, a student in Al-Ta'awoun School, Shahooh, Seiyun, talks about the bitter reality she experienced by saying, "The situation in our school was difficult, hallways, toilets and windows were awful." Classrooms used to reflect desperation and toilets were so unhygienic, which made going to school a nightmare.Fellow student, Marwa, shares a similar experience "The situation was so bad that I avoided using the toilets, waiting until I go home instead. We hated coming to school." The partnership of UNICEF and Sheikh Abdullah Al Nouri Charity Society demonstrates how effective cooperation can change lives. The renovations went beyond physical improvements as ambition was restored as a result, laying the foundation for a more integrated and prosperous community., filtered_html

IOM Yemen: A Mother’s Love Knows No Bounds

Ma’rib, Yemen What would you do if you found a newborn baby? This is the remarkable story of two women on the move, Tayto and Darwisha, who faced that very situation in Yemen. In an extraordinary twist of fate, both women discovered abandoned newborns shortly after giving birth to their own children – Tayto’s first and Darwisha’s fifteenth.  Two years ago, Tayto boarded an overcrowded boat in Obock, Djibouti, with 150 others, many of them women like herself seeking a better future. Leaving her family behind in Ethiopia, she could have never imagined her journey would lead her to a migrant settlement in Ma’rib, Yemen.  Ma’rib, with its resilient and ever-changing migrant community, soon became Tayto’s new home, where she found work as a housekeeper. However, just three months after settling in Yemen, she discovered she was pregnant.  Shortly after, she lost her job. Without a steady income, Tayto faced the daunting reality of raising her child alone in a foreign land. Despite the challenges, Tayto’s heart stayed open. When she came across a little girl whose parents had vanished, she immediately took her in, offering her a safe and loving home.   Tayto admits that caring for two children without family support, in relentless heat and without electricity, has been an ongoing struggle. Yet her determination has never wavered. In many cultures, including Tayto’s, the responsibility to care for others – especially children in need – is deeply rooted in tradition. However, acts of kindness like hers often come at great personal cost, stretching limited resources even further. Amid these challenges, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) works tirelessly to provide assistance. Through vulnerability screenings, IOM identifies the most pressing needs and offers protection and case management support. For female-headed households like Tayto’s, IOM ensures the assistance addresses specific vulnerabilities to reinforce resilience where it is needed most. Yet even with support, the risks in the settlement are ever-present. Last June, Tayto’s fragile sense of stability was shattered when a fire broke out in the crowded community. The flames spread quickly, fueled by the densely packed shelters and windy conditions. Residents tried desperately to contain the blaze, but the fire was relentless. By the time it was finally subdued, Tayto’s shelter had been reduced to ashes.  In the aftermath, IOM stepped in to help those affected. Tayto received dignity kits, hygiene supplies, food, and emergency shelter, which helped ease the immediate burden. Still, the trauma lingered, adding to the challenges she already faced.  Like Tayto, Darwisha’s life was turned upside down when conflict and airstrikes forced her to flee from Al Hodeidah to another corner of Ma’rib, where she has lived for the past five years. Although her resources have been stretched thin, she found a sense of safety in the displacement camp. A mother at heart, Darwisha has always dreamed of having a large family. Today, she is the proud mother of 15 children. “Keeping track of everyone is not always easy,” she laughs, “but having so many kids means they always have each other’s company and care.” To support them, Darwisha collects and sells plastic bottles, earning a modest income. On one of these trips, just days before giving birth to her youngest, Darwisha made a discovery that would change her life forever. In a ditch, hidden beneath thorns and branches, she found a newborn, still covered in blood, with a tiny cap shielding his face. The pit was in a windy, desolate spot where stray dogs prowled nearby. Miraculously, the baby was unharmed. Darwisha quickly alerted the local community and shared her contact information, hoping a relative would come forward. Many strangers showed up, some offering money to take the baby in. Relying on her instincts, Darwisha couldn’t bring herself to let him go to someone she didn’t trust. “As a mother, I felt responsible for protecting him,” Darwisha explains.  They named him Daif Allah, which means ‘God’s guest’, convinced that divine intervention had led him to them. Their newborn daughter was named Anood, meaning ‘strong’ in English, a fitting name for the resilience they shared. This resilience was put to the test when conflict forced Darwisha’s family to flee their home. In those critical moments, they received vital assistance through IOM's Rapid Response Mechanism, which provides immediate, life-saving support to families displaced by crises. Within 72 hours, Darwisha’s family received a kit filled with essential relief supplies. Darwisha also received emergency cash assistance, which allowed her to purchase essential items from local markets, giving her the freedom to prioritize her family’s needs. With IOM’s support, the family received a transitional shelter and Darwisha was able to make improvements, upgrading the shelter and latrine. Without the support of women like Darwisha and Tayto, many of these children would face abandonment or other serious risks. To prevent this, IOM’s Protection team offers unaccompanied children a safe haven in community-based care facilities, where they receive health services, protection, and mental health and psychosocial support.  It has been over a year since Darwisha found Daif Allah, but she has always considered him her own. When her youngest daughter was born, she nursed both infants, watching them grow side by side, surrounded by their siblings and the close-knit support of their family. Darwisha admits that her days of having more children are behind her. Her poor eyesight, kidney stones, and anemia have taken their toll, and raising 15 children is already more than than she ever bargained for. While some of her children still go to school, the older ones have moved out and started families of their own. One day, when Daif Allah is older, Darwisha plans to tell him the story of how he came into her life and let him choose his own path, whether that means staying by her side or pursuing his own dreams. “All I want is for my children to be happy and safe,” she says.

IOM Yemen: Seeds of Hope A Stop-Motion Chronicle of Yemen’s Resilience

Sana’a, Yemen In a modest workshop in northern Yemen, where deeply rooted traditions often limit the roles women can play, a pioneering project quietly came to life. Seeds of Hope, Yemen’s very first stop-motion animation series, wasn’t just about animation – it was about telling stories of resilience, displacement, and the power of perseverance. Created through a collaboration between the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and media production company Yemen Production Network (YPN), the project faced its share of challenges, from limited resources to cultural barriers. The dedication required to overcome these obstacles was as meticulous and challenging as the process of bringing each frame to life.“We weren’t just working on a project,” explains Samira, a former art teacher turned motion graphic designer now working with YPN “This was our chance to show the world the strength of the Yemeni people, especially women. But getting there wasn’t easy.” Where It All BeganThe set for Seeds of Hope was crafted in a women-only workshop, adhering to the cultural norms of the region. Male team members, including the project’s executive producer, Moohi, the sound designer Motaz, photographers, and lighting technicians, were not able to access the workshop. Instead, the responsibility fell to women like Samira, who took the lead in designing and constructing the intricate miniature world where the series came to life. The workshop was a lively but challenging environment. “At times, some of our female colleagues were not available for extended hours,” Samira shares. “Cultural restrictions limited their availability, while others had children or babies to care for. This meant that some of us had to work longer hours to keep things on track.” Foam scraps, fabric remnants, and cardboard became the building blocks of their creations. Samira’s hands were often stained with paint or glue as she sculpted rocks, painted walls, and stitched tiny tents.“We asked IOM for references to ensure we captured the realism of life. As an artist, when I draw something on paper, every detail matters. The challenge now was to translate that into a tangible world. If it didn’t feel real, I didn’t feel good about it.” – Samira, Graphic Designer Bringing Characters to LifeAt the heart of the series were its characters, each inspired by real stories from Yemen. Aisha, the young girl whose drawings bring hope to her community, was modelled after displaced children Samira had seen in her neighbourhood. “I thought about the kids I had taught back in the day,” she says. “Many of them dreamt of becoming doctors, engineers or athletes one day, but their circumstances held them back.” For Rana, a 21-year-old graphic design graduate, working on Aisha felt deeply personal. Growing up amid Yemen’s conflict, she found the character’s story resonated with her own experiences. “When I animated the scene where Aisha sits under a crumbling building, clutching a photo of her family, I couldn’t help but feel the same emotions I had when the war started,” Rana shares. “The faint sounds of bombs in the background brought back memories of fear and uncertainty.” The two women worked together on every detail, from Aisha’s clothing to her facial expressions. “Making her movements believable was difficult,” Rana explains, “but capturing her emotions was the real challenge and also the most important part for me. I wanted her to reflect my feelings.” A Soundtrack of ResilienceDuring the shoot, Rana and Samira focused on perfecting the visuals, while Motaz worked behind the scenes to create a soundtrack that captured the spirit of Yemen. By blending traditional Yemeni tunes with ambient soundscapes, he added depth and authenticity to the project.“It was a challenge to get everything I needed,” Motaz admits. “We didn’t have a big budget for original music, so I worked with what was available. The goal was to make the music feel like it truly belonged to the story.”To ensure the audio matched the emotional tone of the series, Motaz immersed himself in the script, reading it multiple times to understand the voice behind each character. “I sat down with the voice actors before they even looked at the script,” he says. “I explained the story to them, played the videos, and helped them connect with their characters. It wasn’t just about reading lines – it was about bringing them to life.” Moments of TriumphEvery frame completed felt like a victory for the team. For Samira, the process was as much about learning as it was about creating. “I didn’t know much about migrants and why they were in Yemen,” she admits, reflecting on her work on Dawit, an Ethiopian migrant character. “To make Dawit realistic, I needed to understand his story.” She dove into the script, researched online, and watched videos. “I was shocked to learn they walk such long distances. Seeing Dawit come to life on set made it feel real – it truly reflected the incredible journeys migrants take to better their lives.” For Rana, the most memorable moment was animating Aisha’s pivotal scene, where she picks up her pencil and begins to draw. “That moment captured everything we wanted to convey about hope. It wasn’t just about her – it was about us.” – Rana, Graphic Designer A Message of HopeResilience, creativity, and storytelling were at the core of the series. “Frame by frame, we told our story and planted seeds for a better future,” Rana shares. For Samira, the project was life-changing. “I learned what’s possible when people come together with a shared goal. I hope this inspires others to believe in themselves, even if they start small.” For the creators, Seeds of Hope was about far more than animation – it was about building a bridge between Yemen and the world. “This project showed what’s possible when you have passion and a purpose,” says Moohi, the executive producer. “I’m proud of what we accomplished, despite all the challenges.”Watch the complete series of Seeds of Hope now. , filtered_html

UNICEF Yemen: Lingering impact of conflict shadowing learning environment of children in Yemen

Deep in the high mountains of Razih, Sa’ada, in northern Yemen, children in small communities continue to face the long-lasting impact of recurring conflicts. Aid deliveries and access to basic services remain limited in the area that can only be reached with nearly a seven-hour road journey from the central city of Sa’ada on rugged terrains avoiding bridges and roads destroyed by airstrikes.In particular, children bear the brunt of limited educational opportunities and school facilities destroyed during long years of conflict. Al-Imam Al Hadi School is one stark example, which continues to serve hundreds of students despite having been bombed out and left with concrete skeletons without a roof or walls. “The school was bombed by an aircraft in 2009 during the sixth war. From that day until now, it has been like this as you see. We were hoping that this school would be built for a better future for the students but the circumstances forced the school to remain as it is” said Hussein Yahya, the principal of the school, adding that some students dropped out of school or stopped education altogether.“The educational environment has a significant impact on the psychological status of students and the school needs to be rebuilt and furnished,” he said.Students sit on concrete floors without desks, chairs or even blackboards, and take exams on the floor often wet with rain. Broken poles and exposed wires hang on the fragile structure, stalking fears of collapse. Abdul-Malik, an eighth-grade student says, “We are exposed to the sun, cold and rain. And dirt and stones are everywhere. When heavy rains were falling on us, we stopped studying. Yes, it is hard. My parents worry until I get home. They are afraid that I may fall off a pole (of the destroyed school) or come home sick.”Nestled in the highest areas of the mountains bordering Saudi Arabia, the communities have limited sources of livelihood. Most families near the school engage in farming or herding, and children, including Abdul-Malik, support their family business or spend hours fetching water from afar due to the lack of safe and sustainable water sources nearby, an additional burden for students juggling school and household chores. Despite challenges and safety concerns, around 500 students come to the school every day, keeping their strong appetite to study. “I like going to school to study and see my friends. It is important for building my future and my dreams.”Abdul-MalikParents and community members are eager to support children. They have tried to improve the school conditions by adding concrete blocks in a classroom on the first floor. However, the destruction is so huge that more comprehensive support is needed to revamp the learning environment and establish a conducive and safe space.The conflict and collapsing education systems have had a profound impact on the learning environment for children in Yemen. Across the country, 2,426 schools have been either partially or fully damaged, or not functional, and one out of every four students of school age does not attend school. Those who can go to school are forced to cope with unequipped facilities and overburdened teachers, who are often not receiving salaries on a regular basis. UNICEF is supporting the rehabilitation and construction of 891 schools in Yemen this year. It also offers incentives for over 39,000 teachers to continue providing quality education. For Al-Imam Al Hadi School, chairs, desks and blackboards will be provided to improve the condition. But to completely restore or build a safer school environment for children, more resources are needed.“I hope the school will be built and furnished. I want it to be equipped with sanitary spaces, benches, blackboards, doors and windows because we have nothing,” said Abdul-Malik. “I hope our situation will be better so that I can reach a higher level.” , filtered_html

IOM Inaugurates Key Infrastructure in Hadramout to Empower Yemeni Farmers

Tarim, Yemen Marking a significant milestone in Yemen’s efforts to address water-related conflicts and environmental challenges, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in partnership with local authorities and with funding from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), has inaugurated two key infrastructure interventions in Tarim district of Hadramout Governorate.The interventions include the construction of a surface bridge integrated with a gabion weir in the Dammon area and protective gabion walls in Al-Sabir. These infrastructure projects are designed to mitigate flood risks, enhance agricultural productivity, and promote peace and harmony among local communities.“This initiative goes beyond constructing infrastructure; it is about delivering lasting solutions,” said Abdusattor Esoev, IOM’s Chief of Mission in Yemen. “By integrating technical solutions with capacity building, we aim to address urgent needs while enhancing governance around natural resource management. Working closely with local authorities and community leaders, we are developing sustainable water management strategies to ensure these interventions are both effective and locally owned.”Hadramout, like much of Yemen, faces severe water scarcity exacerbated by climate change, soil degradation, and inconsistent rainfall patterns. The cyclical nature of flooding and drought in the region has devastated farmland, eroded soil, and forced many to abandon agricultural livelihoods, leading to heightened tensions over limited resources.The “Water for Peace” project, launched in late 2023 to address critical challenges in Yemen’s Tarim and Seiyun districts, aims to mitigate the damaging effects of water scarcity and environmental degradation. By strengthening natural resource management and fostering community resilience, the initiative is helping build a more stable and sustainable future for Hadramout Governorate.The surface bridge and gabion weir in Dammon offer practical solutions to local challenges. The gabion weir slows floodwaters, reducing erosion and protecting farmland, while a nearby soil pond collects water to recharge groundwater and support agriculture. Together, these structures enable safe crossings during floods, ensuring uninterrupted access to schools, markets, and essential services. In the past, floods frequently isolated communities for days, severely disrupting daily life.In nearby Al-Sabir, similar interventions are making a significant impact. The 40-meter-long gabion walls not only shield farms from destructive floodwaters but also help distribute water more evenly across agricultural lands. Beyond protecting farmland, these walls promote equitable water distribution, reducing disputes among farmers and fostering stronger cooperation within the community.Farmers are expected to see significant reductions in crop losses as the gabion weir traps debris such as silt and stones, protecting farmlands from damage. The trapped silt also enhances soil fertility, enabling farmers to diversify their crops and boost agricultural yields. The community has expressed great satisfaction with the project, praising its potential to improve livelihoods. Given this positive reception, the initiative is being considered a pilot for replication in other areas.With the support of KOICA, the “Water for Peace” project continues to serve as a model for integrated, community-driven approaches to natural resource management. By combining infrastructure development with empowerment initiatives, IOM is helping communities in Hadramout navigate the challenges of climate change and build pathways to peace.For more information, please contact:Monica Chiriac, Media and Communications Officer: mchiriac@iom.int

As the crisis in Yemen deepens, aid agencies appeal for $2.5 billion for the humanitarian response in 2025

15 January 2025 The United Nations and partners launched today the 2025 Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, seeking $2.47 billion to provide urgent humanitarian and protection assistance to millions of people in need.A decade of crisis has profoundly impacted Yemeni communities, who continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. More than half of the country’s population – 19.5 million people – needs humanitarian assistance and protection services, with Yemen’s most vulnerable and marginalized groups, including women and girls, at highest risk.Over the last year, the humanitarian situation has remained the same or even worsened across large parts of the country. Economic decline, climate shocks and regional escalation are driving humanitarian needs and fueling protection risks. Almost half of the country’s population faces acute food insecurity, more than 13 million people do not have sufficient access to clean water and 40 per cent of health facilities are partially or not functioning.Under the 2025 appeal, humanitarians aim to deliver life-saving assistance to 10.5 million of the most vulnerable people in need. “These efforts will be guided by the voices of communities, and ensure that we deliver cost-effective and quality assistance to crisis-affected people wherever they are,” Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, Julien Harneis, said.Despite significant challenges, 197 aid organizations reached more than 8 million people with life-saving assistance last year – two-thirds of which were local Yemeni organizations. This was made possible by the sustained support of donors, who contributed more than $1.4 billion to the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan.“Humanitarian action has been effective in alleviating the worst impacts of this crisis,” stressed the Humanitarian Coordinator. “But cannot do this alone. Much more is needed to reduce needs, achieve peace, revive the economy and build the resilience of communities through sustainable development activities,” he added.###The full document can be found here.For more information, please contact: Ibrahim Haddad, Head of Information, Analysis and Communications, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (haddad17@un.org ), filtered_html

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General – on Yemen

The Secretary-General is gravely concerned about intensified escalation in Yemen and Israel. Israeli airstrikes today on Sana’a International Airport, the Red Sea ports and power stations in Yemen are especially alarming. The airstrikes reportedly resulted in numerous casualties including at least three killed and dozens more injured.

A United Nations Humanitarian Air Service crew member was also injured when the airport was hit. A high-level UN delegation, headed by World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was at the airport when the strikes occurred. The delegation had just concluded discussions on the humanitarian situation in Yemen and the release of UN and other detained personnel.

Today’s airstrikes follow around a year of escalatory actions by the Houthis in the Red Sea and the region that threaten civilians, regional stability and freedom of maritime navigation.

The Secretary-General emphasizes that international law, including humanitarian law as applicable, must be respected at all times; and he appeals to all to respect and protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. Humanitarian relief personnel must not be targeted and must be respected and protected at all times.

The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation in the region and reiterates his call for all parties concerned to cease all military actions and exercise utmost restraint. He also warns that airstrikes on Red Sea ports and Sana’a airport pose grave risks to humanitarian operations at a time when millions of people are in need of life-saving assistance. Further escalation in the region also continues to undermine the mediation efforts led by the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen Hans Grundberg to reach a negotiated political solution to the conflict in Yemen.

The Secretary-General renews his call for the immediate and unconditional release of all UN and other personnel arbitrarily detained by the Houthis.

WHO Yemen: Yemen reports the highest burden of cholera globally

23 December 2024, Aden, Yemen Yemen bears the highest burden of cholera globally. The country has experienced persistent cholera transmission for many years, including the largest outbreak – between 2017 and 2020 – recorded in recent history.As of 1 December, Yemen had reported 249 900 suspected cases of cholera, with 861 associated deaths since the beginning of the year. This accounts for 35% of the global cholera burden and 18% of global reported mortality. The number of cases and deaths reported in November 2024 are 37% and 27% higher than the same month in 2023. The increase this year is largely due to updated data from Yemen, with adjustments made to account for more detailed information from all governorates.Geographic distribution of cholera cases in Yemen

WHO and humanitarian actors are strained in their efforts to address the increasing needs due to severe funding shortages,” said WHO Representative and Head of Mission in Yemen Dr Arturo Pesigan.“Lack of access to safe drinking water, poor community hygiene practices and limited access to timely treatment further hinder efforts to prevent and control the disease."Addressing cholera in Yemen requires urgent and comprehensive interventions, covering coordination, surveillance, laboratory capacity, case management, community engagement initiatives, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and oral cholera vaccinations. Timely and sufficient funding is necessary for these interventions. In addition, damaged public water and sanitation infrastructures require intensive rehabilitation to prevent a recurrence of the devastating scenario the country experienced between 2017 and 2020.Based on projected incidence carried out in September for the response period between October 2024 and March 2025, the cholera response in Yemen faces a funding gap of US$ 20 million. Between March and the end of November 2024, 47 diarrhoea treatment centres (DTCs) and 234 oral rehydration centres (ORCs) were closed due to lack of funding. Another 17 DTCs and 39 ORCs are set to be closed by the end of 2024 – that is, 84% of DTCs and 62% of ORCs – if additional funding is not provided to health partners.Since the emergence of the latest cholera outbreak in March 2024, WHO has worked closely with the Ministry of Public Health and Population and the Ministry of Health and Environment through the UN multisectoral response plan to manage the outbreak. WHO supported more than 25 000 rapid response team missions to investigate alerts and initiate control measures at the local level; provided laboratory reagents and supplies to support the confirmation of infections in 12 central public health laboratories; procured and distributed essential medicines, medical supplies, WASH and infection prevention and control supplies to health facilities, including the 18 DTCs receiving WHO support; trained over 800 health workers on case management, and supported the Ministry of Public Health and Population with an oral cholera vaccination campaign providing protection for 3.2 million people in 34 districts of 6 governorates in Yemen.Media contactsWHO Yemen CommunicationsEmail:  mediayemen@who.intAbout WHOSince 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been the United Nations agency dedicated to advancing health for all, so that everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health.
