Millions of people in Yemen suffer from the complex effects of armed violence. The continued fragility of the Yemeni economy has exacerbated vulnerabilities among poor households, with some of the highest levels of vulnerability concentrated in IDP hosting sites.
There is an urgent need for humanitarian aid in Marib Governorate due to the large number of internally displaced people.
In order for vulnerable groups, such as the displaced, not to see that their vulnerabilities are still very high, and with funding from several donors, the relief unit of HUMAN ACCESS delivered food aid during November and December 2022, benefiting 1,529 displaced families in Marib, in light of the high cost of food in Yemen, which depends on import.
With the support of Balad Alkhair Society, the relief unit carried out the winter campaign to distribute food baskets to the displaced, benefiting 125 displaced families through food baskets consisting of (25 kg of flour + 10 kg of rice + 5 kg of sugar + 1.8 liters of oil + 12 cans of legumes + a packet of sauce + 3 kg of dates), which are considered as vital in preventing famine.
Meanwhile, with funding from Muslim Aid organization, the emergency relief unit delivered aid to affected Yemeni families, targeted 1,000 displaced families.
The aid delivered included (10 kg of rice + 5 kg of sugar + 1.8 liters of oil + 2 kg of salt + 2 kg of meat or two chickens), along with delivering ready meals, each of which contained 200 grams of rice and a quarter of chicken, benefitting 21,000 people.
Moreover, with funding from Sheikh Abdullah Al Nouri Charity Society, HUMAN ACCESS’ relief unit conducted a relief convoy for the benefit of the Yemeni people, targeting 404 displaced families.
The distributed materials consisted of (25 kilograms of flour + 10 kilograms of rice + 5 kilograms of sugar + 4 liters of oil + 24 cans of legumes), noting that humanitarian food aid is the best first line of defense against the heavy loss of life.
In light of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, and at a time when UN reports warn that Yemen's economic decline threatens to exacerbate the hunger crisis, the distributed food aid has had a significant impact on meeting the urgent needs of the most vulnerable groups among the displaced and alleviating their suffering as well as improving access to food.
