YEMEN’S HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
Years of persistent conflict drove Yemen to a complete economic collapse. For over 80% of the population, everyday life is a struggle for survival. With over half the country’s health care facilities either damaged or completely destroyed, basic life saving resources are now a luxury. The numbers are startling, but behind these statistics are real people, all in the midst of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
*Statistics are based on UN and humanitarian agency reports as of January 2025.
