Context
Despite short-lived ceasefires, fighting continued, triggering additional population displacements and more destruction. In 2023, 21.6 million people needed humanitarian assistance.
The ongoing civil war resulted in economic hardship. Basic infrastructure and services, such as water supplies, sanitation and healthcare, were damaged in the fighting, exacerbating the country’s severe structural weaknesses. This placed the population in a highly vulnerable situation, with many communities suffering from severe food insecurity.
Yemen is also prone to natural disasters like flooding, as well as to climate shocks, compounding the already considerable humanitarian needs.

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL’s teams have stepped up their efforts to support people affected by water scarcity. A project was carried out in three districts, with a specific focus on community involvement. First, assessment activities were performed to map groundwater resources, then our teams capitalised on this knowledge to improve water resource management.
The project’s collaborative approach proved to be effective by involving the communities and local authorities in designing and implementing water infrastructure, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities.
Renewed efforts to overcome access difficulties enabled SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL’s teams to be the first to respond to a cholera epidemic affecting the most vulnerable communities.
