NFHR is framing its activities within relevant policies for Disaster, Preparedness to respond to disasters is critical as most of Yemen’s population faces the risk of flooding, as climate change continues to affect farming communities, and they are frequently exposed to serious stress, loss and trauma, whether as a result of food insecurity, unemployment, cholera, arbitrary detention, torture or attacks, or the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
