Already struggling to control communicable disease and chronic malnutrition when the conflict broke out in March 2015, Yemen today has arguably become the world’s worst humanitarian disaster, with more than 10% of its 29 million people displaced, a quarter of the population living on the brink of famine and an estimated 3.3 million children and nursing mothers acutely malnourished.

In this challenging environment, International Medical Corps serves areas of Yemen with some of the most pressing humanitarian needs, even though widespread damage to existing infrastructure has restricted access to many areas. More than half of Yemen’s health facilities no longer function, and with the government unable to support it, the country’s health system is on the verge of collapse. With no sign of an end to the violence, humanitarian conditions in Yemen are expected only to deteriorate further.

International Medical Corps is working to relieve the suffering of those affected by war, natural disaster and disease. We deliver vital healthcare services that focus on training and help devastated populations return to self-reliance.
