International groups warn of Yemen crisis
More than 60 international and local humanitarian organizations have issued a warning about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Yemen, where nearly 18 million Yemenis suffer from severe food insecurity due to the ongoing blockade and the consequences of the conflict. The statement clarifies that more than half of the population faces acute difficulties in accessing food, and approximately 2.2 million children under the age of five and 1.3 million pregnant women are suffering from severe malnutrition. Additionally, funding for the 2026 response plan has fallen to less than 15%. Military operations and the blockade have led to the closure of around 40% of healthcare facilities, exacerbating the crisis, especially in occupied and remote areas already suffering from high levels of hunger and economic decline. The warning also highlights that incomplete data may reveal that the true scale of the tragedy is even greater. In conclusion, the organizations called on donors to increase urgent humanitarian funding to prevent the escalation of the humanitarian catastrophe in the country.
