EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Yemen crisis remains one of the largest and most complex crises globally, and it is far from over. More than eight years of instability, an economy on the verge of collapse, funding shortfalls, and the COVID-19 pandemic have converged to place lives at risk, with women and girls continuing to bear the brunt of these challenges. In addition, Yemen has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the Arab States region. UNFPA's response provides reproductive health services to thousands of women and girls in health facilities supported across Yemen to provide emergency obstetric care and essential reproductive health supplies. UNFPA is also the sole provider of lifesaving reproductive health medicines in Yemen.
