More than 21.6 million people, or 75% of Yemen's population, exhausted by eight years of conflict, are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

In addition, UN agencies and international organizations estimate that 17 million people suffer from food insecurity today, primarily women and children, and many are at risk of death due to hunger.

In a recent World Bank report, internally displaced people (IDPs) in Yemen face an additional layer of hardship and struggle to secure basic necessities for survival, with the erosion of their livelihoods and the specter of rising costs of living.

It is particularly acute in Marib Governorate, which accommodates the largest population of IDPs.

Therefore, HUMAN ACCESS remains committed to providing much-needed food and other assistance to displaced families.

During the months of August and September 2023, the relief unit distributed food baskets, hot meals, and non-food items with support from donors, and was able to alleviate the suffering of 415,830 IDPs in Marib.

1,440 displaced people benefited from food baskets, consisting of flour, rice, sugar, cooking oil, milk, cheese, tahini, tuna, and sauce, in addition to non-food items that included mattresses, blankets, and plastic water tanks.

5,000 displaced people also benefited from hot meals consisting of chicken, rice, sauce, and bread, funded by the Nas Society for Community Support.

The HUMAN ACCESS relief unit delivered 238 food baskets consisting of flour, rice, sugar, cooking oil, and dates, as well as 27 food baskets consisting of flour, rice, sugar, cooking oil and legumes, with funding from the Humanitarian Relief, Human Rights and Freedoms Organization (IHH).

In addition, with funding from Muslim Aid, food baskets consisting of rice, sugar, cooking oil, salt, and meat were delivered to 2,000 displaced families.

Furthermore, 395,800 displaced people also benefited from food baskets, kitchen utensils, hygiene bags, and hot meals, as well as potable water through water trucks.

This necessary aid has a significant impact on reality and confirms that HUMAN ACCESS is on the ground to help the most vulnerable people with the support of partners.

Efforts are being made to obtain more humanitarian funding and support to help IDPs, who are waging a bitter struggle for survival.
