Women and girls in Yemen suffer the harshest fallout from the severe funding shortfall of the Humanitarian Rapid Response Mechanism and the floods that struck most of the refugee camps in several governorates, recent UN reports revealed.

Of the 4.3 million people displaced within Yemen, more than three-quarters are women and children, latest data by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) showed.

Some 1.3 million women are currently pregnant, of whom nearly 200,000 are at risk of developing life-threatening complications yet have only precarious – if any – access to reproductive health services.

UNFPA data also revealed that since April, flash floods have ravaged critical infrastructure including roads, water sources and health-care centers.
