Yemen: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2025

Abstract

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.
