Yemen's humanitarian emergency worsened in August 2026, with 18.3 million people facing acute food insecurity and over half the population in urgent need of aid. A surge in displacement, compounded by a collapse in fuel imports and rising prices, has intensified the crisis across the country.
Displacement Crisis Concentrates in Southern Governorates
Between June and mid-September 2026, displacement reached approximately 120,000 individuals, or about 20,000 households, according to IOM data. The first two weeks of September alone saw 115,000 people displaced, reflecting the severity of the situation.
The displacement is concentrated primarily in Ta'iz (57%) and Lahj (26%) governorates, driven by territorial shifts and road closures that have cut off key transit corridors. These disruptions have doubled transit times for goods transport, severely impacting humanitarian access.
Fuel and Food Supply Chains Under Severe Strain
Fuel imports dropped 67% from July and 89% below historical averages in August, with no petrol or diesel reaching northern ports. The SBA-run Yemen Petroleum Company announced a 10% hike in domestic fuel prices, further straining the economy.
Staple food prices remained broadly stable in August, with minor monthly shifts, but wheat and flour imports fell sharply by 48% month-on-month. The Minimum Food Basket (MFB) costs rose 1% from July but stayed below 2025 and three-year averages.
Economic Indicators Show Mixed Signals Amid Crisis
The Yemeni rial remained stable in GoY-controlled areas at around YER 1,555/USD in August, up 4% year-on-year and 6% above the three-year average. Agricultural terms of trade remained 4% above last year and 15% above three-year averages.
Casual-labor terms of trade remained 13% below 2025 levels, while unskilled casual wages saw a slight 1% monthly gain but stayed severely depressed year-on-year (-14%). Livestock prices continued to normalize with a 1% monthly drop for goats and sheep.
