According to the December humanitarian update from aid coordination office, OCHA, Yemen’s 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan is just 25 per cent funded, forcing agencies to scale back life-saving services across all sectors, despite worsening needs. 

Health and protection services have been particularly hard hit, exposing vulnerable communities to growing risks. 

The health system, already weakened by years of conflict and underinvestment, is “on the brink”, the report said.  

Since January last year, 453 health facilities have faced partial or imminent closure across 22 governorates, including hospitals, primary health centres and mobile clinics.
