Shelter Project
Project Cost: 2,030,489 RM
Target Families: 2000
Project Background
As a result of conflict escalation, the number of displaced people in Yemen has increased rapidly. According to UNICEF 2020 report, 4.4 million Yemenis were internally displaced including 1.71 million children up until the end of 2020, more than 100,000 of them left their home for a safe destination in the first half of 2020. However, those displaced people are still vulnerable to disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and socio-political and economic contexts. They also lack access to health and educational facilities or even clean drinking water. According to IPC malnutrition report prepared by OCHA in Yemen, the number of affected people is more likely to increase in the first six months of 2021, when 16.2 million (54% of the population) are expected to experience acute levels of food insecurity – 11 million at crisis level (IPC Phase 3), 5 million at emergency level (IPC Phase 4) and 47,000 at catastrophic level (IPC Phase 5) in famine-like conditions.
