1 May 2023 – In response to high levels of food insecurity and diminishing health services, WHO and UNOCHA have been working in coordination with health authorities to provide and improve dignified living conditions for the most vulnerable internally displaced persons (IDPs) in under-served IDP sites in Hudaydah, Marib, Taiz, Shabwah, Hadramout and Al Jawf governorates.
In partnership with UNOCHA, WHO has supported 11 TFCs in conflict-affected areas where malnourished children under five years of age have been supported with nutrition and pediatric services. This programme of care includes provisions of essential medical and non-medical supplies, supporting health workers with incentive payments, and capacity building. During the lifetime of the project, a total of 10,141 children have been supported with nutrition and pediatric services, of which 33% are children from conflict-displaced and vulnerable families, with all families supported with transportation costs. In addition, 100 health care workers have received incentive payments, and 248 have received capacity building support.
