Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2025
Abstract
Millions of Yemenis continue to bear the brunt of the conflict and experience dire living conditions, as they find it increasingly challenging to feed their families, visit a doctor and send their children to school. The country’s economy continues to decline, as climate shocks drive displacement and disrupt livelihoods. Food insecurity remains alarmingly high, and millions face severe protection risks. This reality is particularly acute for Yemen’s most vulnerable and marginalized groups, including women and girls, persons with disabilities, the Muhamasheen, refugees, migrants and internally displaced people (IDPs). The 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) lays out a response that is locally-driven and grounded in the voices of affected communities. It is adapted to evolving needs and risks, and takes into account the dynamic operating environment and existing capacities. The plan is highly prioritized and the result of a rigorous boundary-setting exercise to include only life-saving and life-sustaining activities. It also puts forward concrete ways to ensure quality and cost-effective programming, improve targeting and minimize risk of diversion.
