Yemen remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Millions of Yemenis suffer the consequences of intense fighting compounded with looming famine, outbreaks of epidemics, and preventable diseases.

The devastating war between the Houthis on one side and the Government of Yemen plus the Coalition on the other is now in its fifth year. More than 24 million people, 80% of the population, are in need of urgent humanitarian aid and protection and as the war continues, the humanitarian situation grows worse each day. More than 5 million Yemenis in need of humanitarian assistance live in areas that are extremely difficult to reach due to fighting, insecurity and restricted access. Despite this, EU-supported humanitarian aid workers manage to deliver critical aid to millions of people.
