6.1 million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4)

Highlights

• WFP’s general food assistance programme remained paused in November in areas under the Sana’a-based authorities, as efforts continue to reach an agreement that would let WFP resume assistance across northern Yemen.

• WFP Yemen is facing an increasingly dire funding situation, and is just 7 percent funded for the January - June 2024 sixmonth period, with a net funding requirement of US$ 1.30 billion.

• More than 200,000 children and 40,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and girls will be deprived of life-saving moderate acute malnutrition treatment in December due to funding shortfalls.
