    YEMEN Food Security Outlook October 2019 to May 2020 Large-scale assistance needs and risk of Famine (IPC Phase 5) likely to persist as war nears five years KEY MESSAGES • Ongoing conflict continues to disrupt livelihoods, reduce Current food security outcomes, October 2019 incomes, and drive very poor macroeconomic conditions including significantly high prices of food and non-food commodities. It is estimated that approximately 17 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, representing the largest food insecure population in the world. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes are widespread. A risk of Famine (IPC Phase 5) persists under a worst-case scenario in which conflict significantly disrupts port operations or cuts off food supply for a prolonged period of time. • Fuel shortages since September have impacted humanitarian operations in Sana’a and other Houthi-controlled areas in northern and central Yemen. This has negatively impacted livelihoods and exacerbated logistical challenges already faced Source: FEWS NET in delivering assistance. Despite these and conflict-related FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. IPC-compatible analysis constraints, humanitarian assistance has scaled-up in 2019, follows key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus driving some food security improvements. Assistance deliveries of national food security partners. are expected to continue during the projection period, though delays and pipeline breaks remain possible. • Conflict and flooding in western areas of Yemen have increased displacements and led to access constraints. In September, increased conflict was observed in Al Hudaydah and Hajjah. In Aden, conflict subsided in September after high levels in August.

  • MSF Internal Investigation of the 15 August Attack on Abs Hospital Yemen Summary of Findings
    MSF internal investigation of the 15 August attack on Abs hospital Yemen Summary of findings 27 September 2016 About the investigation This document summarises the findings from the internal investigation of the attack on the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)-supported Abs rural hospital in the Hajjah governorate in Yemen. A more detailed report will be released shortly. The objective of the investigation is to ascertain the facts surrounding the attack on the hospital and to establish whether the safety and security of staff and operations can be assured on the ground in Yemen. The investigation was carried out by an MSF humanitarian affairs adviser based at the organisation’s headquarters (HQ) in Barcelona, with critical support from past and present MSF staff involved in the Yemen operations at HQ and field level. For the purpose of this internal review, 35 interviews were conducted with key MSF staff from the Yemen mission and the Abs hospital project, including direct eyewitnesses of the attack, and with patients who were at the hospital at the time of the airstrike. Additionally, relevant internal and external documentation, Yemen context analyses and photographic material were reviewed. Introduction On Monday 15 August at 3.40pm local time, the Abs rural hospital in Hajjah governorate in northwestern Yemen was hit by an airstrike killing 19 people, including one MSF staff member, and injuring 24 others. At the time of the attack, there were 23 patients in surgery, 25 in the maternity ward, 12 in paediatrics and 13 newborns at Abs hospital. The airstrike constituted the fifth and deadliest attack on an MSF-supported medical service in Yemen in the past year, amidst countless attacks on other health facilities and services all over the country.

  • Conflict Escalation in Hajjah, Yemen Anticipatory Briefing Note – 14 April 2019
    YEMEN Conflict escalation in Hajjah, Yemen Anticipatory Briefing note – 14 April 2019 Escalation of conflict in Hajjah governorate, particularly in Abs district, risks displacing up to 400,000 people IDPs are likely to move in two directions: 1) South along the Tihama plain into northern Al Hudaydah, an area heavily impacted by the conflict-related displacement 2) To eastern districts of Hajjah, which have the highest cholera rates in the governorate and poor food security. IDPs are likely to present acute needs, exceeding the capacities of the current response. Abs district, in the direct path of the offensive, hosts up to 210,000 IDPs in over 160 settlements. Most have already been displaced multiple times and have acute shelter, WASH, food, and health needs. Conflict in Abs is likely to disrupt vital WASH and health services. Abs hosts the main water source and the district hospital. With the ongoing rainy season, and cholera cases already on the rise, these services are particularly important and should be protected.
