Danish Refugee Council (Yemen)

DRC is one of the largest INGOs operating in Yemen with a longstanding presence, having begun operations in Aden in 2008, primarily to respond to the needs and protection concerns of migrants arriving from East Africa, and scaled-up its response to the crisis in 2015. Today, DRC is able to meet the urgent needs of those affected by the conflict across the country through the provision of integrated humanitarian assistance, services and advocacy.

As the world´s largest humanitarian crisis enters its fifth year, Yemen continues to be torn apart by conflict, diminished purchasing power, currency fluctuations, collapsing public services, grave violations against children, cholera outbreaks, loss of livelihoods and famine reaching deeper levels of human suffering. Humanitarian needs continue to increase as conflict and displacement affected people are faced with multiple, intersecting vulnerabilities and as the protective environment continues to deteriorate, with few able to access safety, security, and basic rights.
