Yemen has a population of 35 million people, and 22.3 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. Half the population is facing hunger and almost two-thirds of households are now unable to meet their minimum food needs.

However, due to funding restrictions humanitarian organisations are having to focus on the most desperate cases, leaving millions of people without essential supports. Reduced funding has resulted in a reduction of nutrition services by up to 63%. Over 450 health facilities, including 76 hospitals, have closed in the last year.

Concern Worldwide is working in two of the most severely impacted regions in Yemen to support people, particularly women and children under-five, in the areas of health and nutrition.
