Yemen continues to face a protracted humanitarian crisis marked by conflict, political fragmentation, economic collapse, and severe access constraints, with women and girls bearing a disproportionate share of the impact.
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.
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.
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 Shelter Cluster has concluded its fund mapping exercise. Results show that $24 million has been secured to date—representing 14% of the total 2025 funding requirement. However, OCHA’s Financial Tracking System (FTS) currently reflects only $12.9 million due to underreporting by some partners.
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.
Despite a temporary improvement in March due to Ramadan, the food security situation in Yemen remains critical, with a significant deterioration seen over the past year.
In April 2025, Shelter Cluster hubs across Yemen navigated complex challenges, including escalating displacement, recurrent evictions, and climate-related risks. Key achievements included infrastructure improvements, distributions of emergency shelter and non-food items (NFIs), and progress on transitional shelter projects.
