Emergency Yemen
Urgent: Refugee families are at risk
Right now, a severe humanitarian funding shortfall is putting millions of displaced families in danger.
Without immediate support, refugee families could lose access to food, shelter, and medical care when they need it most.
Help us continue life-saving aid.
Yemen is gripped by one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. And now heavy rain and flooding is destroying homes and threatening lives.
After over 8 years of conflict, over 20 million people are in need of urgent help. 80% of the Yemeni people depend on humanitarian aid to survive.
The most urgent task we have in Yemen today is to prevent widespread famine. Displaced families are four times more at risk of famine than the rest of the population.
UNHCR is on the ground providing humanitarian relief and protection across Yemen to hundreds of thousands of displaced people. We are delivering cash and emergency supplies, providing families with shelter and keeping them safe from harm. But we cannot do it alone.
By donating today, you can help families in Yemen access:
- Urgent cash assistance to help displaced families to afford food and rent
- Vital relief items such as shelter kits, mattresses and blankets
- Soap, hand sanitisers and hand washing stations
- Health activities and early detection services to reduce the spread of disease
