Between January and December, the YHF allocated $188m to 53 humanitarian organizations implementing 112 life-saving projects across all sectors of need. Humanitarian supplies available to a wide range of partners were prepositioned in key areas, allowing a fast response to crises. People displaced by the conflict in Al Hudaydah received support through two dedicated allocations. Almost 9m people (cumulatively) are supported through humanitarian assistance funded by the YHF in 2018.

Mohamed is a 32�year�old father of two children who lives with his family in Bani Qais in Hajjah, Yemen. “Life was easy and cheap before the war,” said Mohamed. “I used to work as an apiarist in a bee farmearning 1000 rials (US$2) a day. It was enough for me as I was able to pay the rent and all the house expenses, but now everything has changed.”Since March 2015 the conflict in Yemen has been escalating, leaving 22 million people in need ofhumanitarian assistance. The conflict has had a devastating impact on food security and livelihoods in a country that was already 80 per cent dependent on food imports. Now there are import restrictions,increased food prices, and dwindling purchasing power. Almost 8 million people are on the brink offamine.“Our life completely changed when the war started. It was as if we were ripped away from our life. Besides being afraid of airstrikes and missiles, we struggle on a daily basis to cope with the increase of prices in the market. The 1000 rials that I used to earn is not enough anymore. We are barely eating,” said Mohammed.The economy in Yemen has been badly hit by the prolonged conflict, depriving millions of their livelihoods and jobs and driving poverty levels to over 80 percent of the population.Despite the hardship, thanks to funding from the Yemen Humanitarian Fund, Mohamed now has a new source of income, which he explains happily: “I was registered by CARE in the unconditional cash project, in which I was able to buy six goats for 120,000 rials. From every monthly payment I would buy a goat with 20,000 rials, and with the rest of the money I would buy other necessities. I have made an investment in goats and I succeeded. Today I can proudly say I have a stable source of income. I can lay my head on the pillow and sleep without being worried about how I will be able to feed my children,” Mohammed concluded with a wide smile.
With a staggering two thirds of Yemen’s 28 million people dependent on humanitarian assistance to survive, Al Hudaydah’s port constitutes a lifeline for the population as 70 per cent of humanitarian and commercial goods enter the country through the city. Its strategic location made Al Hudaydah the epicenter of the Yemen crisis when conflict escalated in the Governorate in June 2018, resulting in 511,000 people displaced in the months that followed and in dire need of assistance.
To mitigate the impact of the unfolding crisis, the YHF allocated an overall amount of US$55.5m for humanitarian interventions in Al Hudaydah Governorate in 20181 .
• In June 2018, approximately $37m were used to preposition emergen-cy supplies and scale-up trauma care in the Governorate as part of the first Reserve Allocation.
• In July, a second Reserve Allocation of $7.4m targeted emergency response in Al Hudaydah, prioritizing emergency transportation cash to help people escape to safer areas, civil documentation services and protection cash assistance for people at very high risk, IDP site management and coordination, emergency reproductive health services, and mine action.
• In August, another $11m was allocated through the first Standard Allocation towards critical first-line activities such as emergency food assistance and shelter.
In addition, 15,100 Al Hudaydah IDP families who fled to other Governorates are currently receiving cash assistance, as part of a third Reserve Allocation of $4m launched in November, to get through the harsh winter conditions.
YHF funding contributed to prevent a break in humanitarian pipelines and allowed for the continuity of services in Al Hudaydah as partners could replenish their stocks and maintain their operations. For instance, it supported the expansion of trauma care capacity in Al Hudaydah , now available to assist 800.000 people. As of December 2018, 37 YHF-funded projects were being implemented by 27 humani-tarian partners in Al Hudaydah. They are benefitting a cumulative 3.7m beneficiaries2.
1- This amount does not include funding towards internally displaced people (IDPs) from Al Hudaydah supported in other Governorates.2- Bene�ciary number is higher than Al Hudaydah’s population, estimated at 2.6m in 2011, due to double counting between projects/sectors.
