Since early 2025, Yemen’s humanitarian response has faced acute funding shortfalls, leading to sustained reductions in operational capacity across multiple sectors, including CCCM.
In 2025, Yemen’s displacement crisis continued to deepen rather than stabilize, layered on top of a decade-long emergency that has eroded services, livelihoods, and coping capacity. For millions of families, displacement was not a temporary disruption, but an ongoing reality shaped by rising poverty and weakened systems.
After more than a decade of conflict, Yemen remains one of the world’s most complex and protracted humanitarian crises. The country continues to face the compounded impacts of conflict, climate change, economic collapse, and the near-total breakdown of public services and institutions.
The situation in Hadramawt Al Wadi has continued to stabilize following the recent shifts in territorial control earlier this month. Reports indicate a decline in hostilities, supported by reported prohibitions on carrying weapons within city centers.
The overall humanitarian situation in Hadramawt remains relatively stable, supported by the recent halt in military operations. However, the rapid shift in territorial control and the presence of multiple armed actors have created uncertainty that continues to affect civilian movement and needs.
Yemen’s third dekad of November 2025 is expected to be cooler and drier as the country transitions into the winter season. Temperatures will be near or slightly above average, with very cold nights in the highlands that may persist over the coming weeks.
2025 has brought unprecedented challenges to Yemen. Drastic funding cuts have forced aid agencies to scale back many life-saving programmes. Seasonal floods have once again devastated communities, sweeping away people’s homes and belongings.
Since the beginning of September compared to last month, the number of cases has doubled to above 400 patients at Abs General Hospital in Hajjah governorate, while at Al Qanawis Hospital, Hodeida reported a weekly average of more than 21 patients which is a 50 per cent increase in cases, many of them are children under five years of age.
After more than ten years of conflict, Yemen is again on the brink of humanitarian disaster, standing as the world’s third most food insecure context. As of September this year, 18.1 million people are estimated to face acute hunger (IPC Phase 3 and above).
More than 50,600 households (approximately 354,400 people) in 19 governorates have been affected by heavy rains and flooding since 1 August. This includes 157 reported casualties, including 62 fatalities and 95 injuries.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM), with generous support from the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), has completed a year-long project to improve sanitation infrastructure and solid and liquid waste management services for over 185,000 people in Ma’rib Governorate, home to Yemen’s largest population of internally displaced persons (IDPs).
UNICEF supported 3,127 Primary Health Care facilities out of 5,214 nationwide, representing 60% of Yemen's facilities, and delivered essential services to 1.5 million women and children, including maternal, newborn, and child health, despite ongoing humanitarian challenges.
Since early August, torrential rains and violent windstorms have devastated communities across Yemen, destroying homes, sweeping away livelihoods, and displacing thousands of families already living in precarious conditions.
The deteriorating food security situation in Yemen can be attributed to worsening economic conditions, substantial reductions in humanitarian aid due to funding cuts, limited livelihood opportunities, localized conflict across frontlines, and climatic hazards.
Low seasonal rainfall in Yemen has severely exacerbated an already dire situation, with Yemenis in both rural areas and cities struggling to access clean water, warns the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
Key drivers of food insecurity in Yemen include worsening economic challenges, substantial reductions in humanitarian assistance gaps caused by funding shortages, limited livelihood activities, localized conflict, and the delayed and insufficient rainfall.
Yemen remains one of the world’s most acute and complex humanitarian crises. In 2025, protracted conflict, economic decline, and extreme weather driven by climate change have left more than 19.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
Today, with regular water deliveries and a water quality control system in place, project hospitals can function more reliably. Disinfection routines are followed, surgical wards are active and basic hygiene is no longer a daily struggle.
