![]() According to the Task Force on Population Movement’s ninth report, there were an estimated 2,080,117 IDPs located in Yemen in May 2016, of which 98.7 percent were displaced by conflict and 1.3 percent were displaced by natural disasters.Governorates affected by recent fighting and/or airstrikes include Abyan, Ad Dali’, Al Bayda, Al Hudaydah, Al Jawf, Amran, Hadramaut, Ma’rib, Sa’dah, Sana’a, Shabwah, and Ta’izz. Peace talks were recently suspended in Kuwait and conflict persists across Yemen, particularly in western areas.Additionally, given the currently limited availability of food security data, additional data collection efforts are needed to strengthen future food security analyses. Populations in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or Emergency (IPC Phase 4) require urgent humanitarian assistance to fill food consumption gaps, treat acute malnutrition, protect livelihoods, and save lives. Western areas will remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3 or 3!), with the exception of Ta’izz governorate where Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes will continue. However, based on FEWS NET’s most-likely scenario, the current food security emergency is projected to continue through at least January 2017. Ta’izz), these food security indicators appear to be deteriorating more sharply.ĭue to a rapidly evolving political and security situation, including the recent suspension of peace talks and the ongoing banking crisis, future food security outcomes are uncertain. At a national level, the percentage of the population with “poor” food consumption has remained relatively stable while reporting of consumption-based coping behaviors has increased moderately. In the absence of this assistance, additional areas (Hajjah, Sa’dah, Sana’a, Amran and Ad Dali’) would have likely faced worse food security outcomes, in line with Emergency (IPC Phase 4).īased on an analysis of WFP’s mVAM data over the past year, food security outcomes do not appear to have drastically changed. For example, WFP provided on average 38,662 MT of food assistance per month to 3.6 million beneficiaries during the months of May and June 2016. ![]() Large-scale humanitarian assistance is currently playing an important role in preventing higher levels of food insecurity in many areas. Amongst this population, about 25 percent are in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). Food consumption gaps, elevated levels of acute malnutrition, and/or excess mortality are likely in these areas.Īlthough food security data is limited, FEWS NET estimates that approximately seven to ten million people currently face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse food security outcomes. FEWS NET estimates that across the western half of the country, households continue to face Crisis (IPC Phase 3 or 3!) or Emergency (IPC Phase 4) food security outcomes. A major food security emergency is ongoing in Yemen, caused by conflict-related disruptions to household livelihoods.
