Nearly 17 million Yemenis will likely experience high levels of acute food insecurity, driven by conflict, climate change and economic decline

Snapshot

The IPC AFI updated analysis conducted in September 2022 indicates that approximately 17 million people, or over half of the population in Yemen, will likely experience high levels of Acute Food Insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) between October and December 2022. The primary concern is the 6.1 million people classified in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency). While this analysis update shows that IPC Phase 5 Catastrophe has been prevented, close monitoring remains essential. Overall, 184 of the 331 analyzed districts are classified in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency), and 140 districts in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis). Only seven districts are classified in IPC Phase 2 (Stressed).
