Resilience has been exhausted by protracted conflict and chronic humanitarian needs. Over a million people have had to flee their homes due to conflict. At the same time, there have been new arrivals to Yemen of migrants and refugees.
Before the recent intensification of conflict, almost half of all Yemenis lived below the poverty line, two-thirds of Yemeni youth were unemployed (7.7 million) and basic social services were on the verge of collapse. Years of internal conflict, endemic poverty and weak institutions had left 61% of Yemen’s population in need of some form of humanitarian assistance. That number has now increased to over 80% as a result of conflict and a drastic reduction in commercial imports.
