Since its return to Yemen in 2014, HI has been implementing actions to mitigate the impact of the crisis affecting the whole country, focusing on the most vulnerable people - including injured people and people with disabilities - and meeting the most urgent needs, as close as possible to frontlines.
The organisation currently works in health establishments (hospitals and rehabilitation centres) in Sana’a, Hajjah, Aden Lajih, and Taizz governorates: Teams provide physical rehabilitation and psychosocial support - including the distribution of rehabilitation materials - to the people injured or left disabled by the conflict. HI also delivers training and awareness-raising sessions to the physiotherapists and other medical staff working on rehabilitation care and managing war injuries.
Besides, HI supports the humanitarian organisations working in Yemen to ensure that vulnerable people (people with disabilities, isolated people, women, elder peoples or children) are better taken into account within the humanitarian interventions and are not left out. HI also raises the awareness of people to the risks linked to the presence of explosive devices and mines.
