Humanitarian Context and Allocations
After more than eight years of protracted conflict, displacement and economic deterioration in Yemen, the situation has led to an increased number of people faced with multiple vulnerabilities, forcing people into harmful negative coping mechanisms, resulting in exacerbated protection risks. In 2023, an estimated 21.6 million people needed humanitarian assistance and protection services, a slight decrease from the 23.4 million people in 20221 . The humanitarian community sought to serve 17.3 million of those in the need, with an HRP ask of $4.3 billion. With the continuation of the UN-brokered truce, there was an overall reduction in fighting, increased availability and movement of supplies, and increased access to hard-toreach areas. The improved humanitarian situation presented an opportunity to scale-up humanitarian assistance with a focus on the centrality of protection.
