An aid worker prepares emergency food aid provided by Mona relief agency for displaced Yemenis amid a heightened food insecurity at a camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) on the outskirts of Sana'a, Yemen, 29 April 2022. Aid agencies working in Yemen released on 30 April 2022 the 2022 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), seeking nearly 4.3 billion US dollar to target 17.3 million out of the 23.4 million people in need of lifesaving humanitarian assistance and protection services, after international donors in March 2022 pledged 1.3 billion US dollar – 30 percent of the total requirement for the 2022 HRP. The United Nations ranks Yemen as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world with an estimated 80 percent of its 30 million-population are reliant on humanitarian aid for survival now. The UN estimated that around 161,000 people are likely to experience famine in 2022 and an additional 1.6 million are expected to fall into emergency levels of hunger after the aid agencies suspended vital relief programs in impoverished Yemen as of January 2022 due to severe funding shortfalls.

A Yemeni checks wheat grains as he works at a flour mill in Sana'a, Yemen, 11 June 2022. Yemen is looking for alternative wheat markets in order to cover the disruption to global wheat supplies generated by the fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the war-ravaged Arab country imports about 46 percent of wheat from Russia and Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine and the prolonged war in Yemen have caused shortages of wheat and food price spikes in the impoverished Arab country, exacerbating its already dire humanitarian situation. Yemen is one of the most food-insecure countries in the world with 19 million Yemenis out of the country’s 30 million population suffer from food insecurity and an additional 1.6 million expected to fall into emergency levels of hunger, bringing the total to 7.3 million people by the end of 2022, the United Nations has warned.

A Yemeni laborer works on the restoration of a UNESCO-listed building in the old city of Sana'a, Yemen, 12 June 2022. Dozens of workers, architects and senior master builders are engaged in urban renovation works since early June 2022 in the old quarter of the Yemeni capital Sana'a, using traditional methods and materials for maintaining its architectural style. The much needed emergency restoration is taking place after unusual torrential rains and a Saudi-led airstrike brought extensive damage to several buildings across the old city over the past few years. The old city of Sana'a was listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1986 as an outstanding expression of Yemen's Arab and Muslim traditional culture. In July 2015, it was inducted to the list of World Heritage in danger due to the damage caused to its cultural heritage. A Saudi-led airstrike targeted an old neighborhood of Sana'a in 2015, destroying completely four historic buildings and killing five people. Three other buildings collapsed, 50 others were severely hit. More than 1,000 buildings have leaky roofs due to heavy rains and associated floods of April and August 2020, according to assessments by the General Organization for the Preservation of Historic Cities in Yemen (GOPHCY). The restoration project, that is funded by the European Union (EU) through UNESCO, is within a 20-million euro agreement signed in March 2022 by the EU and UNESCO for safeguarding Yemen's unique cultural heritage in four provinces across the war-ridden country with its historical richness and cultural and folklore variety. That includes the old city of Sana'a which is a dense warren of centuries-old mud-brick houses. The project focuses on rehabilitation work, urgent interventions and regulatory protection of distinctive multi-story tower buildings. The old city, located in a mountainous valley over 7,200 feet above sea level, was an important center of Islam throughout the 7th and 8th cent. (Photo by Yahya Arhab/EPA/EFE)
