  • In Yemen, 2012
    Updated Food Security Monitoring Survey Yemen Final Report September 2013 Updated Food Security Monitoring Survey (UFSMS), Yemen, Sept. 2013 Foreword Food insecurity and malnutrition are currently among the biggest challenges facing Yemen. Chronic malnutrition in the country is unacceptably high – the second highest rate in the world. Most of Yemen’s governorates are at critical level according to classifications by the World Health Organization. While the ongoing social safety net support provided by the government’s Social Welfare Fund has prevented many poor households from sliding into total destitution, WFP’s continued humanitarian aid operations in collaboration with government and partners have helped more than 5 million severely food insecure people to manage through difficult times in 2012 and 2013. However, their level of vulnerability has remained high, as most of those food insecure people have been forced to purchase food on credit, become more indebted and to use other negative coping strategies - and their economic condition has worsened during the past two years. Currently, about 10.5 million people in Yemen are food insecure, of whom 4.5 million are severely food insecure and over 6 million moderately food insecure. The major causes of the high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition include unemployment, a reduction in remittances, deterioration in economic growth, extreme poverty, high population growth, volatility of prices of food and other essential commodities, increasing cost of living including unaffordable health expenses, and insecurity. While the high level of negative coping strategies being used by food-insecure households continues, the food security outlook does not look better in 2014, as the major causes of current food insecurity are likely to persist in the coming months, and may also be aggravated by various factors such as uncertainties in the political process, declining purchasing power, and continued conflicts and the destruction of vital infrastructure including oil pipelines and electricity power lines.

  • 343 Final REPORT from the COMMISSION to the EUROPEAN
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 10.6.2011 COM(2011) 343 final REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Annual Report on the European Union's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Policies and their implementation in 2010 {SEC(2011) 709 final} The European Union is one of the world’s biggest donors of humanitarian aid, and a key actor in providing emergency relief to victims of man-made and natural disasters. It also promotes respect for, and adherence to, international humanitarian law. The European Commission, notably through itsDirectorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (DG ECHO) aims to save and preserve life but also the environment and property, preventing and alleviating human suffering and safeguarding the integrity and dignity of populations affected by natural or man-made disasters occurring inside or outside the EU. The Commission's mandate encompasses humanitarian assistance and civil protection, the two main instruments at the European Union’s disposal to ensure rapid and effective delivery of EU relief assistance to people faced with the immediate consequences of disasters. The EU’s humanitarian assistance, which is distinct from longer-term development aid or foreign policy instruments, is based on the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality. This commitment to principled humanitarian aid is anchored in the Lisbon Treaty. The European Union’s humanitarian aid and civil protection policies enable it to demonstrate in practical terms its commitment to supporting those inside and outside the Union in need of assistance when they are at their most vulnerable. This contributes to fulfilling one of the strategic objectives of the EU's external action, as set out in the Treaty on the European Union.

The impact of the fragile health system on the implementation of health policies in Yemen Taha Hussein 1, Fekri Dureab2,3 , Raof Al-Waziza3, Hanan Noman 2, Lisa Hennig2 , Albrecht Jahn2 1- MSF-France, Aden, Yemen 2- Heidelberg Institute of Global Health, University Hospital Heidelberg, Germany 3- IRIA, Akkon Hochschule für Humanwissenschaften, Berlin, Germany Abstract Background: The on-going humanitarian crisis in Yemen is one of the worst in the world, with more than14 million people in acute need. The conflict in Yemen deteriorated the country’s already fragile health system and lead to the collapse of more than half of the health facilities. Health system fragmentation is also a problem in Yemen, which is complicated by the existence of two health ministries with different strategies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of health system fragmentation on the implementation of health policies in Yemen across the global agendas of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), Health Security (GHS) and Health Promotion (HP) in the context of WHO’s priorities achieving universal health coverage, addressing health emergencies and promoting healthier populations. Methods: The study is qualitative research using key informant in-depth interviews and documents analysis. Results: There are many health stakeholders in Yemen, including the public, private, and NGO sectors - each with different priorities and interests, which did not always align with national policies and strategies.
