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.
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.
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.
The deaths of five children killed in Taiz in southwestern Yemen while playing football when unexploded ordnance (UXO) detonated has brought the number of child casualties of UXOs and landmines this year to at least 40, Save the Children said, calling for more funding for life-saving mine action activities.
