INTERSOS Humanitarian Aid Organization (Yemen)

In 2020, INTERSOS in Yemen continued to implement programmes in different areas of the North and South. The multi-sectoral response approach includes integrated health and nutrition programmes (with support to static facilities and through mobile teams); support to health facilities;identification and care of vulnerable people in need of protection (in particular with programmes to respond to gender-based violence and child protection); access to water and hygiene; economic support to vulnerable families; as well as technical
training and vocational education. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, INTERSOS initiated a response that included provision of personal protective equipment, triage and referrals to specialist services, and awareness raising on infection prevention and control. INTERSOS interventions in the country are directed at people affected by the conflict (IDPs, returnees and host communities), both in rural and urban areas, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, with a specific focus on women, girls and children (including unaccompanied minors) and people with special needs.
