A recent analysis published by the Global Protection Cluster (GPC) found that Yemen's prolonged conflict has given rise to a complex humanitarian crisis, significantly impacting protection efforts.

The analysis of GPC, which is a network of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations and United Nations (UN) agencies, engaged in protection work in humanitarian crises including armed conflict and disasters, added that “the combination of funding constraints, exacerbated by recent banking system disruptions and security incidents, has compounded the difficulties faced by protection actors in delivering essential life-saving protection services.

According to GPC analysis, covering July 2024, Yemen is currently facing a volatile security situation marked by incidents that restrict freedom of movement, hinder access to beneficiaries, and jeopardize the safety of humanitarian staff.

The analysis noticed that “Compounding the security challenges is a banking crisis that has paralyzed financial transactions, delayed the implementation of humanitarian activities and led to a complete halt of some protection activities and significantly slowed down others due to liquidity constraints.

Moreover, according to GPC analysis, the banking crisis has further prompted certain donors to consider suspending or withdrawing funding, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation in the country.

This withdrawal from a major donor has caused widespread concern, as it threatens the stability and continuity of crucial protection services for vulnerable populations.

There is growing fear that this move could set a troubling precedent, potentially leading other donors to equally consider suspending or withdrawing their support.

These challenges collectively undermine efforts to deliver essential assistance and protection to those in need throughout the country.
