General context of the mission

INTERSOS has been working in Yemen since the beginning of 2008, focusing on protection, WASH and livelihood for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants from the horn of Africa and responding to the instability in country providing support to IDPs and local communities.
INTERSOS is based in Sana’a, Aden, Kharaz camp (Laji governorate).
Recent conflict in Yemen has escalated significantly since March, when clashes between Houthi fighters and other parties intensified, mainly in the southern regions. As a result, the conflict is now affecting 20 out of Yemen’s 22 governorates, has killed over 2,000 people and injured more than 7,500.
UN and NGOs surveys now indicate that over one million people have been internally displaced, while thousands of others are trapped by the fighting, unable to flee to safety. An estimated 250,000 refugees and one million migrants – mostly Somalis and Ethiopians – are currently living in precarious conditions in camps, receptions centers or poverty stricken urban areas across Yemen.
Civilian infrastructure continues to be targeted by parties to the conflict. Eleven medical facilities, including six hospitals and medical personnel have also come under attack since March, with four medics killed and six injured to date. More than ten ambulances have been commandeered by militias. A further 86 schools have been hit, and 60 schools have been occupied by armed groups. Directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects is a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
The current escalation is unfolding in a situation characterized by long-term vulnerability and food insecurity throughout the country, now aggravating existing vulnerabilities and putting larger parts of the population at risk. National capacity to respond is extremely limited.
Relief efforts on behalf of the international community are ongoing, strained by a lack of access into and within the country due to insecurity and shortages of fuel.
In consideration of the current humanitarian crisis in the country, INTERSOS considers as a priority to expand its intervention in order to include new vulnerable categories, mainly those affected by the instability in different sectors, from NFIs distribution, health to WASH, nutrition etc.
