Millions of Yemenis are already living on the brink of starvation amidst inflated food prices and a deteriorating humanitarian context.

Stepping up relief operations has become more necessary than ever to save lives and improve food security in a country suffering from the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, especially as hostilities escalate and chances for peace dwindle.

Due to the seven-year-old armed conflict, 17 million people suffer from food insecurity, while malnutrition rates among women and children are among the highest in the world.

According to the United Nations, about 23.4 million people in Yemen - more than two-thirds of the total population - need humanitarian assistance.

Since it is a matter of life and death, the HUMAN ACCESS’s relief unit extends a relief lifeline to people in need and reduces suffering.

Food baskets, shelter items, and cash assistance were distributed throughout October 2022 in the governorates of Taiz and Marib, with the help of a number of donors. About 2056 families were assisted through these humanitarian initiatives.

In this context, the relief unit of HUMAN ACCESS provided emergency support to the teachers of the Owais Al-Qarni educational complex in Taiz city, targeting 255 families, with the support of Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH).

The distributed materials included: 25 kg of flour + 10 kg of rice + 5 kg of sugar + 1.8 liters of oil + 12 cans of legumes + 6 packets of cheese + 6 cans of tuna + 1 kilo of tahini.

In Marib, 783 displaced families benefited from 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), with the support of Kaaf Humanitarian.

In addition, 1,000 families benefited from blankets, sheets, women's, men's and children's clothing, shoes and various bags, with the donation of philanthropists in Italy. Furthermore, 18 families benefited from cash assistance granted by HUMAN ACCESS.

Through these humanitarian interventions, HUMAN ACCESS is still working to confront food insecurity in the country and reduce the harshness of the living scene for the poorest and most affected groups.

More efforts are also being made to move forward in improving the lives of people everywhere in light of the increase in humanitarian needs, and the deterioration of the economy and services.
