The Government of Japan announced an emergency grant of USD 10 million to Yemen and Djibouti on October 6, addressing urgent humanitarian needs. This funding is a direct response to the worsening humanitarian situation in Yemen and its regional impact. Separately, the desert locust situation in the Western Region remained calm in September, with no locusts observed in Algeria and Tunisia.

The humanitarian situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate, necessitating emergency funding and indicating persistent needs across various sectors. Funding for humanitarian operations remains significantly below requirements.

The ongoing crisis has resulted in over 21,000 internally displaced persons. The emergency grant aims to address critical needs in food, nutrition, health, protection, shelter, and WASH services.

The specific impact of the emergency grant on the affected populations is not yet detailed. Information on the current food security situation and health outcomes is also not covered.
