Yemen Civil War (2015-present)

Leaders from our humanitarian team joined the WFP discussion to share their insights on effectively addressing sexual exploitation and abuse, and lessons learned from the Yemen crisis.

An estimated 24 million people need assistance and protection in Yemen, the UN warned on Thursday. With famine threatening hundreds of thousands of lives, humanitarian aid is increasingly becoming the only lifeline for millions across the country.

The current level of hunger in Yemen is unprecedented, with almost 18 million people lacking enough food.

A public accounting for Saudi Arabia's conduct in Yemen is critical, and evidence by experts outside the U.S. government should be considered when determining future certifications. InterAction member organizations and other civil society groups should support congressional hearings on this matter and weigh in with both Congress and the State Department about their concerns in Yemen.
