The report also revealed that the number of people with disabilities in Yemen has risen to 4.9 million—15% of the population—largely due to war-related causes such as landmines and unexploded ordnance. However, the actual number is likely much higher.
More than 16,000 women and children require physical rehabilitation, while over 640,500 people need mobility aids. Additionally, over 153,500 people require prosthetic limbs or orthopedic devices.
According to Entisaf’s statistics, between 185 and 350 centers, organizations, associations, and institutes specializing in disability care, training, and rehabilitation have been shut down. This includes 30 institutions, federations, and associations in the southern and eastern governorates.
Before the war, 250,000 disabled individuals were receiving education in public schools and universities, according to official statistics. However, many were forced to drop out due to the aggression.
The report further stated that 2.4 million children are currently out of school due to displacement, the destruction of educational infrastructure, and worsening economic conditions. A total of 3,676 schools have been destroyed or damaged, and since 2016, 196,197 teachers have not received their salaries regularly due to the war and blockade.
The economic war has also driven a surge in child labor, with 1.6 million children forced into the workforce due to financial hardship. Approximately 34.3% of these children are between the ages of 5 and 17.
Additionally, 17.8 million people in Yemen are in urgent need of health assistance, while eight million children require immediate access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services to prevent disease outbreaks and save lives.
Epidemics have affected approximately 4.5 million people in the capital, Sana’a, and other liberated governorates, including 226 cases of polio.

The organization reminded that the repercussions of the aggression on the health sector have led to a decline in healthcare services, with only 51% of health facilities functioning. Over 80 newborns die daily due to internationally banned weapons and as a result of the blockade, aggression. The actual need for the health sector is estimated to be nearly 2,000 incubators, while only 600 incubators are available. As a result, 50% of premature infants die.
The organization's report highlighted that more than 21.6 million Yemenis need some form of assistance, meaning that 75% of the population, which is approximately 32.6 million, requires food. Among them, 17.6 million people are facing food insecurity, with 6.1 million already in a critical phase of food shortages and acute malnutrition.
The number of children with heart deformities has exceeded 3,000, all of whom require treatment abroad. The number of cancer patients is 35,000, including over 3,000 children. It was explained that cancer cases in certain types of tumors have increased by 200-300% due to the weapons used in the aggression. Additionally, more than 5,000 people are suffering from kidney failure, facing the threat of death due to the aggression, blockade.
The report clarified that nearly 70% of childbirth medications are unavailable in the country due to the blockade and the prevention of their entry by the US-Saudi aggression. It noted that more than 50% of neonatal deaths could be prevented if basic healthcare were provided. Additionally, around 8.1 million women, girls of reproductive age need assistance in accessing reproductive health services.
The Entisaf Organization held the US-Saudi aggression responsible for all the crimes, violations against civilians, particularly women and children, over 3,600 days of aggression. The organization called on the international community, UN organizations, and human rights and humanitarian bodies to take legal, humanitarian responsibility for what is happening to civilians in Yemen.
The organization called on the free people of the world to take effective and positive action to stop the aggression, protect civilians, lift the blockade on Yemen, form an independent international committee to investigate all the crimes committed against the Yemeni people, and hold accountable those found to be involved in them.
Saudi Arabia and its allies have waged its war against Yemen since 2015, aiming to reinstate Riyadh-friendly former officials. The war and siege enforced by the US-Saudi-led coalition have resulted in hundreds of thousands of Yemeni deaths and pushed the country to the brink of famine, creating the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
These ongoing atrocities demand urgent international attention. Without accountability and justice, the suffering of Yemen’s people will persist, and the cycle of violence will continue. It is imperative that world leaders, human rights organizations, and legal bodies take decisive action to end the war, lift the blockade, and bring those responsible for war crimes to justice.
