Yemen remains one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises, with an estimated 21.6 million people requiring humanitarian assistance or protection in 2023. The prolonged crisis was exacerbated by climate change-induced disasters, displacing over 300,000 people, many experiencing repeated displacement. UNFPA's Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) expanded its operations across 19 severely affected governorates.
UNFPA's 2023 response reached over 2 million individuals, providing critical reproductive healthcare, protection services, and emergency relief. This included support to 95 health facilities, 35 safe spaces, eight shelters, and eight specialized mental health centres.
UNFPA's appeal for $70 million to sustain programmes for women and girls in 2023 was only 57 percent funded by year-end.
