Food insecurity in Government of Yemen (GoY) controlled areas reached a record high in February, amidst a general worsening of the situation nationwide.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has provided shelter assistance to nearly 3,400 displaced families and distributed essential household items to 14,000 families across Yemen in 2024, thanks to the generous $7 million USD contribution from the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief).

With the deteriorating economic conditions, Ramadhan festivities have become less normal for most Yemenis as they struggle to afford them. This comes at a time of decline in the value of the local currency in GoY controlled areas , along with rising prices of basic food items and reduced income earning opportunities.

According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), about 19.5 million people are projected to need humanitarian assistance in 2025, including 17.1 million (almost half of the population) facing acute food insecurity.

As reported on 13 February 2025: In Zamzam Camp, El Fasher city, North Darfur state, seven people were killed, including two International aid workers, and 40 injured when the RSF carried out an attack for two days on the camp and looted and burned livestock

As Yemen marks ten years of conflict and crisis, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) warns that a widening chasm between rising humanitarian needs and the funding required to alleviate them risks leaving millions of Yemenis without access to food, healthcare and protection services.

Today marks 10 years since the start of conflict in Yemen. The devastating impacts of this conflict, a changing climate, a deteriorating economy and collapsing public services have led to a dire humanitarian situation, with over half of the population in need of assistance and protection services.

في خطوةٍ هامة لمواجهة الأزمة التغذوية الحرجة في اليمن، قدَّم بنك التنمية الألماني KfW، نيابةً عن الحكومة الفيدرالية الألمانية، منحةً قيمتها 19.8 مليون يورو لليونيسف اليمن.

Islamic Relief health and nutrition workers say they are seeing increasing numbers of malnourished children, with health centres receiving more patients than they have capacity for and some children dying from hunger.

In a significant step toward addressing the critical nutrition crisis in Yemen, KfW Development Bank, on behalf of the German Federal Government, recently contributed 19.8 million euros to UNICEF Yemen.

In February 2025, Yemen continued to experience a dry season with minimal rainfall, exacerbating water scarcity across the country.
