An international report classified Yemen among the twenty countries most at risk of humanitarian emergencies during the next year.

The report issued by the International Rescue Committee attributed the main reason for this to the continued economic collapse and the high level of food insecurity resulting from the war that has been ongoing for 9 years.

He explained that a decade of war led to the significant collapse of the country's economy and the widespread spread of poverty, noting that the war led to the weakening of the currency and the rise in prices of basic commodities in light of two parallel economies.

The report expected that the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea would lead to the imposition of additional sanctions that would further weaken the economy, calling for intensifying international efforts to confront the hunger and malnutrition crisis in Yemen, and filling the funding gaps for humanitarian programs.

In this context, a recent study revealed that 290,000 displaced families in Ma’rib Governorate were exposed to varying psychological effects due to the war and the risks of displacement from areas controlled by the Houthi militia.

The study conducted by the National Center for Strategic Studies in the city of Ma’rib showed the presence of 32 psychological effects among the displaced in Ma’rib, according to the variables of gender, age, marital status, and residence.

She indicated that the psychological effects were embodied in feelings of anxiety, fear, frustration, distress, lack of confidence and security, and a tendency toward isolation, warning of the danger of their compromise on social peace now and in the future.
