The healthcare system is critically strained, with only 50% of hospitals fully or partially operational. The WASH situation is equally dire, with 27% of the population lacking access to safe water and 49% facing water scarcity. 

Nutritional needs are alarming, with 2.7 million pregnant and lactating women and 5 million children under five requiring treatment for acute malnutrition.

The combined effects of inadequate health services, poor WASH infrastructure, and widespread malnutrition highlight the urgent need for comprehensive and sustained humanitarian intervention in Yemen.
