Humanitarian aid to Yemen via WHO

Description What is done in the programme or project and why, what results are pursued, who benefits from the activities and who are involved in the implementation.

The humanitarian situation in Yemen is one of the most challenging ones on a global scale, Yemen being the poorest country in the Arabian peninsula. The crisis stems from endemic poverty, under-development and local conflicts. It is estimated that there are 15,9 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, which is over 60% of Yemen's population. The WHO requirements for Yemen in 2015 are 25,2 million USD. WHO will be focusing on the areas weakened by conflicts and political instability.
