A recent report highlights the critical surge in acute food insecurity in Yemen. Over 53% of the population is projected to be in crisis or worse conditions. The situation is exacerbated by severe macro-economic shocks, including funding gaps and trade disruptions.

The vulnerability of the population is further compounded by dependence on agriculture for survival, particularly in rural households. An impending El Niño climate shock is expected to suppress the monsoon season, leading to below-normal rainfall nationwide. Further details on the situation and its implications are available from the Yemen Market and Trade Bulletin, issued on 25th July 2026.

The report provides more information on the current state of food security and the factors contributing to the crisis.
