Yemen's Water Crisis

Yemen faces one of the world's worst water crises. Nine years of conflict have destroyed critical water infrastructure, leaving 15.4 million people without access to clean drinking water and basic sanitation.

Families, especially women and children, walk for hours daily to collect water from contaminated sources. This water often carries deadly diseases like cholera, which has infected over 2.5 million people since 2016.

The lack of clean water affects every aspect of life. Children miss school to help collect water. Mothers can't maintain proper hygiene for their families. Preventable waterborne diseases claim lives daily.

Climate change has worsened the situation, with droughts reducing already scarce water sources. Yemen is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, and the crisis continues to deepen.
