February 2014 – Yemen has been experiencing civil unrest and political turmoil since 2011. Conventional weapons and other explosive remnants of war continue to harm people. According to the United Nation’s Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan, 14.7 million people in Yemen (58% of the population) need humanitarian assistance in 2014. With DFATD's support, this project is helping to address the health and protection needs of up to 4,785 people who have been internally displaced or seriously affected by ongoing conflict in Aden and Sana'a governorates. Project activities include: (1) providing post-surgery, physical and psycho-social rehabilitation services, prosthetic and orthotic services to conventional weapons victims and other persons with disabilities; (2) strengthening the capacity of two health service providers to deliver comprehensive rehabilitation services; and (3) creating a coordinated response system to meet the needs of conventional weapons victims and other persons with disabilities.
