MdM in Yemen

Yemen remains one of the world's most complex and severe humanitarian crises, driven by years of protracted conflict, economic collapse, climate-related shocks, political fragmentation, and persistent access constraints. An estimated 19.5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 11.5 million who require urgent, life-saving aid. The healthcare system is under immense strain, with approximately 15 million people lacking access to adequate medical services, compounded by widespread cholera outbreaks and systemic challenges across the health sector.

The operational context remains volatile, where localized tensions, service disruptions, and economic pressures, such as currency depreciation and delayed public sector salaries, contribute to periodic unrest and operational constraints.

MdM currently operates in both northern and southern Yemen, with interventions in the governorates of Sana'a, Amanat Al Asimah, Aden, and Marib. The coordination office is based in Sana'a, supported by two field offices in Aden and Marib.
