Yemen: Food Security and Displacement Snapshot
H U M A N I TA R I A N I N F O R M AT I O N U N I T
According to the Yemen IPC NTWG, an estimated 17 million Yemenis, 60% of the population, are in crisis or worse (IPC phase 3 and 4) food insecurity due to ongoing conflict, restrictions on food and fuel imports, and high food prices. Access to ports is critical for commercial traders and humanitarian organizations, since Yemen is dependent on imports to meet basic food and fuel needs. Humanitarian organizations are concerned an
increase in conflict and insecurity along the western coast of Yemen and near the port of Al Hudaydah, the main port for commercial and humanitarian deliveries, will restrict access and impact commercial and humanitarian imports. Humanitarian operations are further hindered by bureaucratic impediments, damage to roads and bridges, and low levels of funding.

An estimated 3 million people have been displaced in Yemen since 2015, including 2 million internally displaced and 1 million returnees. Displaced Yemenis lack access to basic needs, including food. Mass displacement creates major challenges for humanitarian organizations as conflict spurs displacement and restricts humanitarian access. As of March 10, fighting along the Red Sea coast of Ta‘izz has displaced an estimated 48,000 people since late January.
