The World Food Program (WFP) reported that it needs a funding budget estimated at more than one billion dollars to meet the requirements of implementing its programs and humanitarian activities in Yemen during the coming year.

The program said, in a report issued on its global expectations for 2025, that it needs funding of $1.5 billion to respond to the ongoing humanitarian needs in Yemen during the coming year.

The report added that this funding will be allocated to providing life-saving humanitarian assistance in Yemen, where the ongoing conflict and the multiple and overlapping crises resulting from it, in addition to climate shocks, have left about 17.1 million people suffering from severe food insecurity.
