Yemen

After eight years of fighting, damaging infrastructure and reducing basic healthcare services, two thirds of Yemen’s population remain in need of humanitarian assistance.  That’s more than 21 million people.  Despite a temporary reprieve from fighting, essential services and the economy continue to deteriorate.  More than 80 per cent of the population struggles to access food, safe drinking water or healthcare.
