Sana’a — A new report from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) indicates that Yemen’s acute food insecurity crisis saw a modest improvement last month, though the majority of households remain unable to meet their basic nutritional needs.

According to the WFP’s latest monthly assessment, 61 percent of households surveyed in November 2025 reported difficulties in accessing sufficient food, down slightly from 63 percent in October. 

While this two‑point decline suggests a minor improvement, the agency stressed that the situation remains at an “alarming” level, comparable to the same period last year.

The report further highlighted that severe food deprivation continues to affect more than one‑third of Yemeni families, with the highest rates recorded in the governorates of Al Bayda, Al Dhale’e, Raymah, Al Jawf, and Hajjah.

WFP warned that despite the slight progress, millions of Yemenis remain trapped in a cycle of hunger and vulnerability, underscoring the urgent need for sustained humanitarian assistance and long‑term solutions to stabilize food security across the country.
