قبل انتهاء اتفاقية الهدنة الحالية التي تقودها الأمم المتحدة في 2أغسطس ، 2022تحث المنظمات الإنسانية في اليمن جميع أطراف النزاع على الالتزام بالهدنة وتمديدها لحماية المدنيين في جميع أنحاء البلاد والسماح لهم بإعادة بناء واستعادة حياتهم.

بصفتنا منظمات تعمل في اليمن ، فإننا ندرك ونشيد بالخطوات المهمة التي اتخذتها جميع أطراف النزاع للحفاظ على الهدنة. خلال الأشهر الأربعة الماضية ، شهد اليمنيون أطول فترة هدوء في البلاد منذ أكثر من سبع سنوات. منذ أن دخلت الهدنة حيز التنفيذ في الثاني من أبريل / نيسان، تراجع عدد الضحايا من المدنيين بشكل ملحوظ.

Ahead of the end of the current UN-led truce agreement on 2 August 2022, humanitarian organisations in Yemen urge all parties to the conflict to adhere to and extend the agreement to protect civilians across the country and allow them to rebuild and recover their lives.

As organisations working in Yemen, we recognise and applaud the important steps taken by all parties to the conflict to uphold the truce. During the past four months, ordinary Yemenis have experienced the longest period of calm in the country in over seven years. Since the truce entered into force on 2 April, reports of civilian casualties have dropped significantly.

At 53.2 million, internally displaced persons continue to outnumber refugees and more needs to be done to highlight their plight of being ‘internal’ refugees within their own countries.

20 June 2022 – Today marks World Refugee Day and for the first time, the number of people who are experiencing displacement around the world has exceeded 100 million. Out of this figure 53.2 million are those who have fled their homes to other areas within the borders of their country, for fear of their lives mainly because of conflict and violence. In Yemen alone, 4.3 million people have become internally displaced persons (IDPs) leaving behind their lives, at times with the clothes on their backs and many experiencing displacement multiple times.

Now into their Eighth Year of War, 19 million Yemenis, including 2.2 million children under the age of five, will be facing hunger.

25 March 2022 – Tomorrow the people of Yemen will enter their eighth year of living in a country in active conflict. Over the period of 2,555 days and nights, Yemenis have been experiencing a deteriorating economic hardship and loss of income, displacement and a daily struggle to meet their most basic needs. By the end of the year, up to 19 million Yemenis will experience acute malnutrition, including 2.2 million children under five. While the conflict affects all the people of Yemen, women and girls continue to be disproportionately affected.

The repercussions of the current global food crisis emanating from the conflict in Ukraine - one of the main suppliers for Yemen - will mean less wheat and oil entering the country and at higher prices, further worsening the situation for more people.
