Where is Yemen?
Nestled at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen boasts a rich tapestry of history and culture. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north and Oman to the east, with its coastline along the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Red Sea. This strategic location has historically made Yemen a crossroads of civilizations, but in recent years, it has also placed it at the center of a protracted and devastating conflict.
The Yemeni People
The people of Yemen are known for their rich traditions and deep sense of community. Despite the challenges, Yemenis maintain their vibrant culture through music, art, and storytelling. Yemen’s landscape is as diverse as its people, ranging from the towering peaks of the Sarawat Mountains to the vast deserts and lush coastal plains.
Yemen’s population is predominantly Arab, with a small presence of Afro-Arab and South Asian communities. The social fabric of Yemen is woven from ancient tribal systems and a strong sense of family, which remain integral to Yemeni society even in the face of modern hardships.
The Humanitarian Crisis: Long-Endured and Most Severe
Yemen is currently enduring one of the longest and most severe humanitarian crises in modern history. Since the conflict escalated in 2015, the situation has deteriorated dramatically, leading to widespread poverty, displacement, and hunger. Over 24 million people—approximately 80% of the population—are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The prolonged conflict has disrupted every aspect of life in Yemen. Access to basic services like healthcare, education, and clean water has become scarce. The economic collapse has left millions without livelihoods, pushing many into extreme poverty. Malnutrition rates have soared, with children being the most vulnerable, often facing severe acute malnutrition.
