The IRC Yemen began its programs in October 2012. Since establishing its presence in the South of Yemen, in the Red Sea Coastal city of Aden, the organization has grown from just implementing a small project to handling large-scale emergency and relief operations. Following the war which broke out in Yemen in March 2015 and the humanitarian disaster that followed, IRC launched an emergency response program in the southern governorates of Aden, Lahj, Abyan, Shabwah and Al Dhale'e, and later expanded into Sana’a and Hodeidah in the North. Currently, IRC Yemen is operating in eight governorates in the south and north of Yemen through direct programming and local partnerships in Health, WASH, Nutrition, Economic Recovery Development, Education, Child Protection, Gender and Women Protection and Empowerment.
