Even before the civil war, Yemen was the poorest country in the Middle East.

Since March 2015, open conflict amongst rival factions has spread across Yemen, culminating in the on-going Saudi-led coalition’s bombing of targets in Houthi-controlled sections of the country.

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported that 21.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 1.26 million internally displaced people.
