Yemen: WHO Health Emergency Appeal 2026

Overview

Yemen remains one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, driven by prolonged conflict, economic collapse, food insecurity, recurrent disease outbreaks and climate shocks. In 2026, 23.1 million people will need humanitarian assistance, with 10.5 million targeted for assistance. Cholera, malaria, dengue and vaccine-preventable diseases persist as only around 60% of health facilities remain fully functional. WHO is delivering life-saving health services, strengthening outbreak surveillance and response, and sustaining essential care amid severe access and funding constraints.
