Emergency Response to the Nutrition Crisis in Yemen

For years, Yemen remains one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. More than two million children under the age of five are acutely or severely malnourished. With the help of mobile clinics and health teams, UNICEF reaches the most vulnerable children – particularly in remote rural districts – to provide integrated support including ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUFT). Through awareness campaigns in communities and training of health and nutrition workers, UNICEF also supports local authorities to deliver lifesaving and preventive measures against malnutrition.
