About the project:

The "Enhancing Support: Disaster Management and Humanitarian Response Fund" project, implemented by Sanid, is an effective strategy for providing robust and rapid support in disaster management and humanitarian response in affected areas in Yemen. The project aims to enable the ability to adapt to multiple challenges and contribute immediately to diverse groups with flexibility and effectiveness.

The project aims to provide rapid intervention and rapid humanitarian assistance to families displaced by conflict or natural disasters in Yemen, with an emphasis on flexibility, rapid access, and positive adaptation. The project will provide food supplies, shelter, psychosocial support, and interventions tailored to the specific needs of affected families. It is a fundraising system to support disaster management and humanitarian response during conflicts and emergencies in Yemen. The project aims to provide support for materials in the organization's warehouses for emergency interventions in conflict and natural disaster areas before and during their occurrence in Yemen, in order to provide emergency life-saving assistance to displaced families in the area affected by natural disasters and armed conflict.

The Resilience Building Project: Disaster Management and Humanitarian Response Fund in Yemen (SANID) The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs ( OCHA ) has published the Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan (YHRP), which aims to provide assistance and protection services to the most vulnerable and in need. According to the plan, 21.6 million people in Yemen will require some form of humanitarian assistance and protection services during 2024 , representing two-thirds of the population. The UN is calling for $4.3 billion to reach 17.3 million of the most vulnerable and in need. The response approach will be organized around three strategic objectives: strengthening life-saving activities, building resilience and contributing to durable solutions, and providing protection. The plan recognizes the importance of working closely with development partners to prevent a broader collapse of basic services. The humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding sectors will engage in coordinated action under the strategic umbrella of the recently established Yemen Partners Group ( YPG ) and its operational structure, the Yemen Partners Technical Team (YPTT) . Your project proposal aligns with the objectives of the Humanitarian Response Plan and can contribute to strengthening household resilience.

Achievements:

Due to the recent missile strikes that Yemen has been exposed to as a result of the ongoing waras well as the floods and torrents during the months of August and September, these events have resulted in many casualties and damages, both human and material, in several areas in Yemen, which caused human losses, as many people died, many homes were completely or partially destroyed, and hundreds of families were displaced from different areas. Reports and field surveys indicate that thousands of families were affected during the period from June to September 2025 AD, both materially and humanly, and the risk of violations and gender-based violence has increased, especially among women and children. Yemen is going through a major crisis and disaster that is not being addressed by the concerned authorities. Therefore, one of the project's objectives is an urgent and emergency response in providing emergency humanitarian aid and relief. Sanid Organization implemented its activities in accordance with the events taking place in the targeted areas, and due to its presence in those areas, it rushed to provide relief and assistance to families affected by disasters (floods - war), represented by food and shelter aid , which was as follows:

v  Providing food aid to 33 families affected by the war, who were forced to leave their homes, which were destroyed and rendered uninhabitable. The following aid was provided:

v  18 displaced families benefited from the provision of urgent food and shelter baskets , which included food supplies, mattresses, blankets, and kitchen utensils. 126 individuals benefited from the baskets, including 22 men, 64 women, and 40 children.

v  23 elderly people with diabetes and high blood pressure were helped with diabetes and high blood pressure treatments.

v  18 pregnant and breastfeeding women underwent medical examinations and received the necessary treatments and nutritional supplements under the supervision of doctors and nutritionists.

v  21 children between the ages of nine and fifteen were referred to psychologists and social workers for psychological support after experiencing psychological trauma as a result of the airstrikes near their homes.

v  Thus, the number of beneficiaries of urgent and emergency aid is as follows:

• 126 individuals benefited from food and shelter assistance .
• 23 elderly people with chronic diseases benefited from treatments and medications.
• 18 pregnant and lactating women benefited from medical examination and nutritional supplements.
• 21 children benefited from psychological support.
• Total: 188 people.

ü  Increase the number of people eligible for assistance.

ü  Multiple sources of disasters and multiple areas of occurrence.

Recommendations:
