Yemen – Complex Emergency
FACT SHEET #6, FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012 MARCH 23, 2012 YEMEN – COMPLEX EMERGENCY KEY DEVELOPMENTS On March 14, the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) released preliminary findings of the recently completed Yemen Comprehensive Food Security Survey (CFSS). According to WFP, approximately 45 percent of the population—or 10 million people—is food insecure, a significant increase from the nearly 32 percent identified as food insecure in 2009. Of the 10 million people, approximately 5 million are severely food insecure and unable to produce or purchase sufficient amounts of food. In response to the ongoing food security crisis highlighted by the CFSS findings, USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (USAID/FFP) plans to provide additional assistance for emergency programs implemented by WFP and other organizations in Yemen. In addition, USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) has provided approximately $2 million in nutrition assistance in FY 2012 to directly respond to acute malnutrition in Yemen. On March 21, a USAID/OFDA Regional Advisor and the USAID/Yemen Mission Director attended a humanitarian coordination meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, convened by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The GCC comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Participants— including the U.K., the European Union, and the U.N.—met to raise awareness, hold discussions, and advocate for funding for the current humanitarian situation in Yemen. Escalated fighting between Republic of Yemen Government (RoYG) forces and armed groups in Abyan Governorate, southern Yemen, displaced approximately 1,800 people in March, according to the U.N. -

COUNTRY Food Security Update
YEMEN Food Security Outlook Update April 2017 Food imports continue, but potential for port disruptions in Al Hudaydah remain a concern KEY MESSAGES Conflict in Yemen continues to be the primary driver of Food security outcomes, April to May 2017 the largest food security emergency in the world. Currently, large populations face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or Emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food insecurity, the latter of which is associated with an increased risk of excess mortality. IDP populations and poor households in conflict zones are likely facing the most severe food security outcomes. As of January 2017, in-country stocks of wheat flour stood at approximately 1.1 million MT, enough to meet national consumption requirements for approximately four months. Following sharp declines in January and February, wheat and wheat flour imports through Al Hudaydah and Salif ports increased in March 2017. Overall, imports of wheat/wheat flour through these two ports between January and March 2017 were in line with levels seen between October and December 2016. Source: FEWS NET Recent statements related to the potential for an offensive Projected food security outcomes, June to September 2017 military operation near the ports of Al Hudaydah and Salif raise concerns that imports through these major ports could be halted in the near term. In a worst-case scenario, significant declines in commercial imports below requirement levels and conflict that cuts populations off from trade and humanitarian assistance for an extended period of time could drive food security outcomes in line with Famine (IPC Phase 5). CURRENT SITUATION Conflict and population displacement Widespread conflict events, including both airstrikes and armed clashes, continue throughout Yemen, particularly in western areas. -
