Synopsis (short abstract) One in two Yemenis are acutely food insecure, and every other child under 5 years of age is stunted. Yemen imports 85 percent of its food, making the country highly vulnerable to price hikes and supply disruptions expected this year. Two out of three Yemenis have agricultural livelihoods, yet less than USD 2 out of USD 100 goes towards helping them to produce food. These families are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change – for which Yemen ranks the third most vulnerable country. An effective humanitarian response in 2024 requires greater attention to agriculture, and those depending on it for food and income. This document provides a summary of the planned response and funding requirements of the Food and Agriculture Orgnization of the United Nations within the framework of the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan for Yemen.

    Yemen: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2025 2025

    Conflict, economic crisis and recurrent climate shocks continue to erode rural livelihoods in Yemen. Dependent on imports for almost all of its wheat and rice, Yemen is highly vulnerable to supply disruptions. Three in four people rely on agriculture, yet less than 1 percent of humanitarian funding to food sectors has supported food production over the past decade. As a result, one in two Yemenis faces acute food insecurity, and over half of children under 5 years of age suffer from acute malnutrition. An effective humanitarian response in 2025 must prioritize agricultural assistance to help families break free from reliance on food aid. This document provides a summary of the planned response and funding requirements of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations within the framework of the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for Yemen.

    After eight years of armed conflict, Yemen remains one of the world’s most complex humanitarian crises. More than half of the country’s population, around 17 million people, are acutely food insecure. A crippled economy, climatic shocks and climbing food prices place already vulnerable households at further risk. Restoring agricultural production – a critical source of food and income for rural households in Yemen – is fundamental to the humanitarian response.

    Syrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

    Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced.
