A recent UN report has exposed a devastating hunger crisis in Yemen, where 35% of the population living in areas controlled by the Houthi militia are suffering from hunger. The WFP report highlights that 32% of households in these areas experienced moderate to severe hunger in November, with a staggering 66% using extreme coping strategies like skipping meals to survive.
In November 2025, 61% of surveyed households nationwide struggled to meet their minimum food needs, including 35% facing severe food deprivation. aThis is further compounded among IDPs and female-headed households.
