MdM in Yemen
Yemen remains one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, after more than a decade of conflict, economic decline, climate shocks, and political instability. In 2026, over two-thirds of the population require humanitarian assistance, including 9.4 million people identified as most in need of life-saving support.
The health system is under extreme strain, with only 59.3% of health facilities fully operational and 19.3 million people requiring healthcare services, including more than 660,000 pregnant women in need of urgent care. Cholera continues to pose a major public health challenge, adding pressure to an already weakened system.
The operational environment remains highly volatile, marked by security incidents, service disruptions, funding cuts, and economic challenges that regularly affect humanitarian activities.
Médecins du Monde operates across northern and southern Yemen, with a coordination office in Sana’a and field offices in Aden and Marib. Its interventions focus on two strategic priorities:
Supporting 29 health facilities to deliver primary healthcare services, including outpatient care, vaccination, nutrition, and reproductive health.
Providing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) through healthcare facilities and community-based networks trained in identification, referral, and awareness-raising activities.
