The conflict in Yemen is taking a heavy toll on civilians. The United Nations (UN) estimates that four out of five Yemenis are in need (21.1 million people). Approximately one million Yemenis have been displaced of whom 54% are women and 46% are men.i According to UNHCR, 28,712 Yemenis have fled the country seeking refuge in the Horn of Africa and in the Gulf states. Insecurity is severely hampering the response: UNHCR reported that of the 250,000 refugees in need humanitarian assistance only 1063 had received aid by 14 July 2015. Many schools have been forced to close affecting an estimated 1.84 million children across 3684 schools. The most affected governorates include Sana'a, Taizz, Aden, Lahj, Sa'ada, Al Dhale’e as well as Sana’a City.
