YEMEN: (12 October 2015) Humanitarian Snapshot YEMEN: (15 October 2015) Humanitarian Snapshot
The humanitarian situation in Yemen is deteriorating rapidly. The number of internally displaced people is on the rise, the food security situation is expected to worsen, the health system is failing and more children are at risk of death if they are not treated immediately. Humanitarian organisations have scaled up life-saving and urgent humanitarian response to people affected by conflict, despite an extremely challenging operating environment.

In the last six months, nutrition partners have treated 97,000 children for severe acute malnutrition, and 65,000 for moderate acute malnutrition. However, treating malnutrition cannot be accomplished in isolation. All aggravating factors such as food insecurity, poor water and sanitation, and fragile health system, need to be addressed simultaneously.

According to UNICEF, 537,000 children under age five are at risk of severe acute malnutrition – a threefold increase from 160,000 in March. Close to 1.3 million children under age five are moderately malnourished compared to 690,000 prior to the crisis. The alarming malnutrition levels around the country are aggravated by limited availability and lack of access to food due to blocked or damaged delivery routes and restrictions on food and fuel imports.
