Sana’a — The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) announced that it has provided life-saving services to more than one million people across Yemen since the beginning of this year, amid ongoing humanitarian challenges and conflict-related disruptions.

Through its network of reproductive health clinics, mobile teams, and community outreach programs, UNFPA has delivered critical support including maternal health care, psychosocial services, and protection assistance for women and girls. 

The agency emphasized that its interventions have been vital in areas affected by displacement, poverty, and limited access to health infrastructure.

“This milestone reflects our commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind, especially women and girls who face heightened risks in crisis settings,” said UNFPA’s representative in Yemen. “Despite the operational challenges, we continue to expand our reach and impact.”

The services provided include emergency obstetric care, family planning, gender-based violence response, and youth engagement initiatives. UNFPA also highlighted the role of local partners and health workers in sustaining service delivery under difficult conditions.

Yemen remains one of the world’s most complex humanitarian emergencies, with millions in need of assistance. UNFPA’s efforts are part of a broader UN response aimed at alleviating suffering and restoring dignity for vulnerable populations.

The agency called for continued donor support to maintain and scale up its operations, noting that sustained funding is essential to meet growing needs and protect lives.
