Over two-thirds of Yemenis (17.8 million people) require support to meet their basic WASH needs, including 12.6 million who are in acute need. Inadequate access to WASH services is a major driver of communicable disease outbreaks and acute malnutrition.
Public water and sanitation systems require increased support to provide minimum services and avoid collapse. Only 22 percent of rural and 46 percent of urban populations are connected to partially functioning public water networks, and lack of electricity or public revenue creates significant reliance on humanitarian support.
Over half of districts (167) are in acute need of sanitation support, and in 197 districts, over 55 percent of the population has no access to an improved water source. With reduced safe water access, communities resort to unsafe water sources, and only 24 percent of households treat water at home, mostly due to cost.
