UNFPA Monthly Situation Report for Yemen #11 - November 2017
Highlights of the Month:
On 6 November, ‘temporary’ closure of all of Yemen’s airports, seaports and land crossings took effect, disrupting the delivery of humanitarian assistance to 27 million people. UNFPA and all humanitarian actors called for the borders to be re-opened and flights to be resumed, stressing that continued closure will sharply aggravate humanitarian crisis in Yemen and bring millions of people in Yemen closer to starvation and death. Of particular concern was on the lives of 52,800 pregnant women who risk complications with immediate danger to their lives if they do not get urgent life-saving maternal care and medicines.

In 2015, member states of the United Nations committed to “leaving no-one behind”. Such commitment has consequences and costs that are not necessarily available in developing countries. Separately, and for decades, Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services in the Arab region have been provided in silos, with high fragmentation and cost to the different health systems and individuals. It is, therefore, necessary to identify ways to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare provision and freeing resources to help leave no-one behind.
