#WHOYemen & #UNHCRYemen: Protection through Health in Yemen

Protection through Health in Yemen

Current challenges and solutions going forward.

Nine Years of conflict have devastated Yemen.

Over 20 million Yemenis are destitute and heavily reliant on shrinking levels of aid.

Many are internally displaced, refugees, migrants, women, and girls who have been driven from their homes and forced to endure widespread human rights violations including the targeting of civilians.

Nearly two-thirds of Yemen’s population cannot access basic health care, sufficient food, and suitable shelter.

But new hopes for peace are now paving the way for humanitarian and health actors to join and accelerate their efforts at all levels across Yemen.

More strategic and operational collaboration will lead to better localized programming requires the centrality of protection in all health interventions for their improved collective impact on the lives of most vulnerable Yemenis, who must not be forgotten and cannot be left behind.
