International data has revealed an unprecedented deterioration in food security in Yemen. By mid-September, around 74% of households were unable to meet their basic needs, while 41% faced acute food deprivation and more than half the population was at risk of crisis-level food insecurity or worse. The decline is driven by conflict, displacement, rising prices and living costs, and reduced aid. The cost of a food basket rose by 7% in Houthi-controlled areas, reaching about $91. Additional risks include an expected 14–17% drop in the domestic wheat harvest during the 2026–2027 season. The Risk Management Team recommended scaling up relief efforts, supporting purchasing power and livelihoods, ensuring the flow of essential goods, and directing aid to the hardest-hit groups and areas.
