Generic Information:
The Republic of Yemen, commonly known as Yemen, is an Arab country located in Western Asia, occupying the southwestern to southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Red Sea to the west, and Oman to the east. Yemen is considered one of the poorest countries in the Arab world.
Yemen is a low-income, food-deficit and least developed country, ranking 154 out of 187 countries on the 2011 UNDP Human Development Index. For the past five years Yemen has ranked highest in the world on the Global Gender Gap Index. The rates of acute malnutrition for children under 5 are among the third highest in the world, stunting rates are second only to Afghanistan and the rate of underweight children is third highest, following India and Bangladesh. Infant and under 5 mortality rates are estimated at 76 and 102 per 1,000 live births, respectively. Maternal mortality is also high, at 570 deaths per 100,000 mothers.
The humanitarian situation in Yemen is becoming increasingly complex. In 2011, the country experienced a political crisis and widespread civil unrest, resulting in violent urban clashes between government forces, anti-government protesters and tribal elements. This led to massive and protracted displacements nationwide. High food prices (which increased by 47 percent since January 2011 and last upto January 2012) and shortages of fuel also exacerbated already critical levels of food insecurity. Furthermore, the ongoing conflict in the southern governorate of Abyan between government forces and militants affiliated with Al-Qaeda escalated, leading to the displacement of over 100,000 persons. In addition, over 400,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and war-affected individuals from the conflict in Yemen's northern region continue to be in dire need of emergency assistance.
To effectively respond to the humanitarian situation and based on the results from the 2011 Comprehensive Food Security Survey (CFSS) conducted between November and December 2011, WFP Yemen operations were significantly scaled up. Specifically, activities under PRRO 200038 will be immediately rolled into EMOP 200306 and the seasonal emergency food safety net (ESN) caseload expended to 4.7 million beneficiaries in the 13 most food insecure governorates. The EMOP will be extended for 6 months into 2013 (until end June 2013).

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
National Disaster Response Structure
As a result of the disasters that have plagued Yemen over the last three decades, the strengthening and the establishment of a disaster management body is receiving greater attention from the Government of Yemen (GoY). To this end the Government took many significant steps such as:
- Enactment of the Decree No. 24 on Civil Defense (CD) on April 1997, which supports an effective disaster management. Articles under this decree outline Civil Defense procedures and the composition of the ‘Supreme Council of Civil Defense’ (SCCD), which is established under the chairmanship of the Minister of Interior. The temporary powers of the Civil Defense are furthermore outlined in the Decree.
- In 1997 the Council of Ministers issued decree No. 52 on forming a committee to prepare a possible approach to tackle Disaster Management.
- Following the above-mentioned decree the Minister of Planning and Development issued Decree No 123 of 7 October 1997 with the aim of forming a committee to prepare a proposal to establish an ‘institute for managing natural disasters’.
- On the Government’s side, Civil Defense at the Ministry of
Interior is the principle government organization in charge of
disaster response in the country, with the participation of other
relevant parts of the government including:
- Supreme Council for Civil Defense (SCCD)
- Ministry of Defense
- Ministry of Public Works & Roads
- Ministry of Public Health & Population
- Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation
- Ministry of Water and Environment
- Ministry of Information
- Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation
- Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor
- GARWAP Water Authority
- Ministry of Local Administration
- General Authority for Survey and Land Registration
- Civil Defense Councils/Committees at the Governorate level
Military and Civil Defense Assets
Currently military and civil defense assets are not used in relief operations due to security sensitivities; consequently there are no established humanitarian civil military coordination mechanisms in place.

Transit Regime
Note: The USD figure was derived on 20-Aug-08 using an exchange rate of 1 USD = 199.000 YER.
However, the Government follows the international transit
procedures, except that they stipulate that the shipping and
commercial documents should very clearly indicate the word
"Transhipment".
Customs Authorities do not allow transhipment within the same area
of ports. For example, transhipment between ports within the free
zone in Aden is prohibited.
Ordinary Transit:
Goods may be transported on all roads appointed by the Customs
Authority subject to a signed undertaking and bank guarantee.
Detailed declaration and inspection of the goods as required for
goods entering for free circulation will apply.
Special Transit:
Such transit requires transportation by means of rail or by
licensed transport companies along routes determined by the Customs
Authority.
Detailed declaration is not required, a brief statement and overall
inspection will suffice.

4.4 Yemen Port and Waterways Company Contact List
Yemen’s main ports are Aden, Al Hudaydah, Al Mukalla, and Mocha; Aden is the primary port. In addition, Ras Isa serves as the loading point for oil exports, and a small amount of cargo passes through Nishtoon. Facilities at Aden consist of the Maalla Terminal and the Aden Container Terminal (ACT), which opened in March 1999. In November 2003, following the October 2002 bombing of the French supertanker Limburg off the Yemen coast and the resultant dramatic drop in throughput at the Aden port, the Port of Singapore Authority sold its majority stake in the ACT back to the Yemeni government. In June 2005, Dubai Ports International was selected to manage and operate the ACT (and possibly Maalla Terminal) under a 30-year or longer contract; the Yemeni government will remain a minority shareholder.

Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data information on Yemen
The air transport sector of the Republic of Yemen is relatively small. With the size of the country (528,000 km2) and its population of 23 million, it has 18 airports, of which 12 with runways of at least 2,500 meters (for comparison, Morocco, with about 1.4 times the population of Yemen, has 44 airports of which 13 with runways of at least 2,500 meters).
There are 13 fully operational airports in Yemen, five of which are international (Sana’a, Aden, Taiz, Al Rayan in Mukala and Hodieda) and 8 local (Sayun, Attaq, Al Ghaidha, Mareb, Al Buqa’a, Al Biedha, Sa’ada and Soctra). The state has allocated resources to modernize airports and provide navigation equipment ensuring air transport safety including ongoing rehabilitation works on the Aden International Airport. Twenty-three international airline companies fly regularly over Yemen’s air space. Yemen has signed bilateral air transport agreements with 41 countries.
Air Carriers
Traditionally the national carrier, Yemenia Airlines was the only
operating carrier within the county, currently Yemeina Airlines is
undergoing a restructuring process where various departments are
being segregated and established as associated private entities
responsible for their individual services.
Such subsidiaries include:
- Yemenia Ground Handling Company - Ground handling services
- Yemenia Cargo Handling Company - Cargo Handling Services
- Yemenia Joint Venture - Air Charter Services
- Felix Air - Domestic flights
- Yemenia Airways
Yemenia - Yemen Airways is the national airline of Yemen, which has established an international network serving over 23 destinations. Until recently, it was also the only domestic air service provider. However, a new domestic carrier called Felix Airways started operations on 26 October 2008, taking over Yemenia’s domestic network. While the carrier is focusing at becoming a successful intercontinental sixth freedom carrier, its most profitable current market is within the Gulf region. Nevertheless, it has embarked on a substantial fleet renewal program, which includes modern Airbus A350 aircraft, to meet the expected demand.

Road Security
Level of Road Security: Bad
In the region of the Sada'a conflict insecurity is rife, transporters are taking lengthy diversions through mountainous areas following dirt tacks in order to avoid the conflict.
In other regions which tribal tensions are high trucks can be hijacked for ransom or to pressurize tribal/political negotiations.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
Weighbridges do exist in strategic locations throughout Yemen; however they seam to be rarely utilized – to the extent that many transporters were unaware of their locations or the legal axle limitations.
There are two weighbridges functioning in Hodeidah; one inside and one outside of the port, the weighbridge in Aden is reportedly not functioning.

2.7 Yemen Milling Assessment
Yemen Milling Assessment
Yemen's main milling facilities are located in the ports of Aden
and Hodeidah with each location playing host to two large flour
mills.
Saliff port has extensive bulk importing operations and there are
two storage silos located in the port which provide an additional
storage capacity for the mills in Hodeidah (see Saliff Port

Yemen - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
- Yemen is a relatively small oil producer and does not belong to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Unlike many regional oil producers, Yemen relies heavily on foreign oil companies that have production-sharing agreements with the government.
- Income from oil production constitutes 70 to 75 percent of government revenue and about 90 percent of exports. Yemen contains proven crude oil reserves of more than 4 billion barrels (640,000,000 m3), although these reserves are not expected to last and output from the country’s older fields is falling, a concern since oil provides around 90% of the country's exports. In 2023, Yemen's total oil production averaged about 15,000 barrels per day (bbl/d), down from 300,000 bbl/d estimated for 2010. Production has been declining extremely due to the complex political conflict in the country.
- Fuel is managed by the Ministry of Oil and Minerals through its owned company Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC). Since the political conflict in the country, the country is divided into two authorities one in north and south which led to have two distinct Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC). All importers of fuel should be obliged to handover the fuel imported to YPC for distribution. The following table show the locations of YPC branches and its storage capacity.

Fuel provision in Yemen faced many challenges and constraints since the start of the political conflict. During the onset of the political conflict the fuel supply to the country faced a blockage of roads which affected the transportation. In 2015, when the political situation become severe and damages to the ports, fuel strategic storage and ban to all imported shipments, fuel supply to Yemen tragically affected which led to scarcity of fuel. The warehouse of strategic fuel stock destroyed as will the main fuel station destroyed which led to shortage of fuel in the market. As well the Jet A1 strategic warehouse destroyed, also the Jet A1 plant in Sana’a Airport destroyed and fuelling airplanes stopped. However, the Jet A1 warehouse rebuild and fuelling airplanes now is available in Sana’a, Aden, Mukalla and Sayoun.
Fuel Pricing
Fuel price in Yemen is not stable and faced with many changing in price. Since the year of 2011 the fuel price was YER 75 (USD 0.3) for one litre of petrol and YER 50 (USD 0.22) (The exchange rate was USD 1 = YER 224). In the last quarter of the year 2011 after the political situation in Yemen deteriorated, the government applied a new price for fuel. The new fuel price was YER 175 (USD 0.7) (Exchange rate was USD 1= YER 247) for one litre of fuel.
During the years (2013-2014), the new government applied new lower fuel price YER 125 (USD 0.558) for one litre of petrol and YER 100 for one litre of diesel.
In July 2014, the Government of National Accord decided to withdraw the subsides to fuel, which led to increase in fuel price. The excuse behind this decision was that the government wanted to stop the smuggling of fuel and reduce the impact of economic crisis. The fuel price became YER 200 (USD 0.93) for one litre of petrol and YER 195 for diesel (exchange rate is USD 1= YER 215).
In 2015, when the political situation deteriorated again and new government took over the control in the North of Yemen, the fuel price was floated. This decision as well declared the removal of the subsides on fuel (e.i. custom, tax fees and road fund) and to add YER 5 to one litre of fuel for the funding of building electricity plant and oil port lasting for 24 months. The fuel price was YER 135 for one litre of fuel, but the fuel was not available, and fuel was sold in black market with a price of YER 500 for one litre.
In the below table shows the fuel price during the past years till the date.

Fuel Transportation
- Fuel in Yemen is distributed only through YPC, both in North and South, to the local market using its own bowsers and private bowsers.
- In North of Yemen, once the fuel is imported through ports of Hodeida or Ras Issa, YPC is possessing all the fuel to its tanks in Hodeida Port and Ras Issa Port. Then fuel transported from Hodeida port to the strategic storage plants of YPC in North of Yemen. Those plants located in Hodeida and Sana’a. From Hodeida and Sana’a strategic storage plants, YPC putting a plan for distribution to all northern fuel stations on daily basis.
- In South of Yemen, once the fuel is imported through ports of Aden, Mukalla and Nushton, YPC is possessing all the fuel to its tanks in ports and then transports it to its strategic storage plants in South of Yemen. Those strategic plants located in Aden, Marib, Shabwah, Mukalla, Sayoun, Al-Mahrah and Taiz. From those strategic plants fuel distributed to the locations within its geographical coverages.
- Transportation of fuel faced with many bottlenecks as some of roads are closed due to political constraints and lack of safe roads which either damaged or closed and lack of rehabilitation of roads.
- The current capacity can cover the local demand as well as a portion of the demand of the humanitarian community. However, some humanitarian communities are reaching WFP for provision of fuel which are supported through contracting with private companies for importing and distributing fuel.

3.2 Yemen Transporters
Yemen Transporters
The transportation market in Yemen is relatively well developed,
hovewer not structured and transport companies operate under a
consortium of pool of truck owners who register their trucks under
cooperative office.
In the main logistical hubs transportation agents can access large
trucking capacities by pooling together multiple truck owners, they
charge transporters directly and there are no additional costs to
users above quoted rates.
The capacities listed below refer to trucks that are wholly owned
by the companies listed, most of the transporters can expand their
listed capacities through sub-contractor arrangements.
In certain regions when tribal tensions are high; trucks may be
hijacked for ransom or to pressurize tribal negotiations.
Tariff System contracting for primary route transport
Under the current operational context, WFP logistics unit envisages the continuity of applying the tariff system in the primary transport contracting process where a tariff can be established for multiple transporters for the same route to attend to WFP operational requirements. This can be attributed for the following points:
It is anticipated that the scale of operation (food to be
uplifted) shall increase significantly (almost double) in the first
six months of 2013 compared with the second six months of 2012.
Following to a quick market assessment, WFP local carriers still
depend to a high extent on trucks subcontracting from the local
market through established cooperative consortium offices. No
single transporter has adequate truck capacity to accommodate
multiple EDPs in the current tender.
Most of the WFP local carriers have limited financial capacity.
Moreover, local banking is not helpful. Lending is only on high
interest rates owing to the Yemeni central bank policy to keep the
stabilisation of the exchange rate of the local currency.
Tariff system will allow multiple transporters to provide a
combined capacity of transport service to WFP. This shall assist in
building the local transport capacity and avoid unforeseen risk of
transport cartels or semi-cartels.
Secondary transport definition and classification
In the Yemen operational context, the secondary transport service is meant to cover the cargo movement from WFP intermediate warehouses up to the FDP (final delivery point) where the food consignment custody transfer from WFP to its cooperating partner.
WFP Yemen CO applies standard contract for the secondary route transportation.

Electricity and Power
- Yemen is attempting to meet its rapidly growing power needs while reducing its dependence on oil for electricity generation.
- According to Yemen's Public Electricity Corporation (PEC), the country's electricity distribution network is inadequate.
- Electricity shortages are seen as limiting economic growth in Yemen. Currently, it is estimated that only 35 percent of the urban population and 5 percent of rural households have access to electricity from the national power grid; only 42 percent of the total population has access to electricity.

Yemen - 3.7 Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
At present, all collection, transport, and disposal of waste is provided by the Local Authorities. In each town there is a collection team and fleet that pass to collect waste directly at certain times of the day. Additionally, there are dumpsites distributed in various locations in the town, which are located in different locations randomly.
The fuel crisis and the interruption of workers’ salaries negatively affected the removal of waste and caused a delay in its removal in some areas, in addition to the lack of equipment and waste collection vehicles that were not sufficiently available even before the conflict, as the rate of waste removal from various cities was around 65% and 5% in rural areas, but with the outbreak of conflict, 45% of vehicles were looted and destroyed, in addition to the great pressure on some cities due to internally displaced people.
At present, a few large Yemeni cities have planned landfills, but otherwise open dumping is the usual form of waste disposal in the cases where the waste is collected.
Approximately 60% of household waste is not removed, and a large percentage of these piles are piled up on the streets of cities and valley drains in some areas, as happens in Al-Mahra, where waste poses a danger with rainfall, as the torrents flowing in the rainy season wash away waste accumulates in the outfalls, obstructing the flow of water, and ends up flooding the valley and causing damage to neighbouring farms and homes.
Official waste collection sites were a problem even before the conflict. The number of official landfills does not exceed twenty-one, only 6 of which are subject to supervision, while the remaining landfills are open. Most of the waste is not buried in landfills, which poses a major environmental and health threat and greenhouse gases are emitted into the atmosphere. On the other hand, leaching resulting from waste seeps through the ground layers to find its way into the groundwater reserve, the main source of water in Yemen, in addition to the rise in the possibility of landslides, especially with rainfall.
In each large city in Yemen there is a landfill which is managed by the Local Authorities. Some of the landfills are detailed here. In Sana’a city there is one landfill in Alzraqain. In Ibb city there is one landfill in Alsahoul. In Taiz city there are 2 landfills, one in Alqaidah and one in Mafrq Shara’ab. In Dhamar there is on landfill. In Albaidah there is one landfill. In Hodeida there are two landfills in Alsaleef and Zabid. In Aden there are two landfills, one temporary in Alhisuah and the main landfill in Bair Alna’amah. In Mukalla there is one landfill. In Sayoun there is one landfill.
The drawbacks to majority of dumpsites throughout Yemen include the following problems:
- The dumpsite location was selected without consideration of the hydrogeological or topographical suitability of the site.
- No preparatory works or site engineering has been done on the dumpsites.
- There is no access control, no permanent staff for site management and no landfill machinery assigned to the site.
- Soil or sand cover is not used and the placement of the waste in the landfill is not planned and not methodical.
- There is often air pollution from fires on the dumpsites.
National legislation and laws:
- Law No. 20 of 1999: Establishment of the City Cleaning and Development Fund and the following amendments: Collection and management of revenues to provide solid waste management services.
- Law No. 26 of 1995 Environmental Protection Law: defines waste, hazardous waste, dealing with hazardous waste, and harmful environmental activities, including pollution crimes.
- Law No. 39 of 1999 Public Cleanliness Law: defines roles, responsibilities, and methods of dealing with several types of waste.
- Law No. (16) of 2004 regarding protecting the marine environment from pollution.
The government body responsible for waste management is the City Cleaning and Improving Fund which is administrated by Ministry of Local Administration. For each major city in Yemen there is a cleaning and improving fund, any cleaning and improving fund for any new city should be approved by the Council of Ministers.

The recycling industry is new to Yemen and began with recycling plastic, metals, and glass. There are recycling plants scattered around the country in major cities like Sana’a, Taiz, Aden and Hodeidah.
The process begins with the street cleaners and rubbish collectors who gather plastic, metal and other waste from streets, homes and other places and then sell them to waste yard owners. These junkyard owners then sell the recyclable materials to larger merchants, who sell them to factories for recycling.
There are more than fifty registered recycling plants across Yemen. They receive recyclable materials through an informal network of waste brokers and scrap buying shops.
The following chart identifies the types of wastes in Yemen.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
In Yemen there is no presence of waste disposal for each type of hazardous wastes especially the e-waste, appliances, air conditioners, refrigerators, and oils. However, in this section, we will consider the waste disposal of medical waste.
Lubricants are collected from the workshops and reused in cement factories and clay breaks sites. Currently, there are four recycling factories in Yemen for batteries as well as batteries collected dried and exported.
Hazardous medical waste is produced from sources that are contaminated or potentially contaminated with infectious, chemical, or radioactive agents. The percentage of the total medical waste is 15-25% of medical waste, as it poses a danger to the individual, society, and the environment during its collection, storage, transportation, or disposal.
Medical waste cycle within health facilities
- Sorting the types of waste at the source of their generation is a scientific process that takes place so that each type of waste can be kept separate from the other.
- Collection from its source.
- Internal transportation within the facility.
- Internal storage
- Treatment inside the facility or outside in the medical waste disposal facility.
- Transportation of waste from the facility to the treatment station or landfill for treated waste.
Medical Waste Disposal Methods:
- Autoclave: Wet thermal steam disinfection involves sterilizing shredded infectious waste with steam at elevated temperature and pressure. This process inactivates most types of germs if the temperature and contact time are sufficient. Bacterial spores need a temperature of at least 121°C to kill them, as it is expected that the activity of 99.99% of germs will be inhibited at this temperature.
- Microwave: Microwave sterilization is considered the third most widely used medical waste treatment technology in the world, as it uses ultrashort waves instead of steam for heating. It destroys most germs under the influence of microwave waves with a frequency of 2450 MHz and a wavelength of 12.24 cm. The water inside the waste is quickly heated by microwave waves, and the infectious components are destroyed by thermal conduction. They are exposed to the waves for 20 minutes, after that the waste is compressed and placed inside drums and sent to the landfill.
- Encapsulation: which includes filling containers with waste, adding a retarding agent, and closing the containers tightly. This process is used either in boxes made of high-density polyethylene or metal drums that are filled to three-quarters of their volume with the sharp tools and leftover chemicals or pharmaceuticals. The boxes or barrels are then filled with an intermediate material such as plastic foam, sand, cement mortar, or clay material. After the intermediate material dries, the containers are tightly closed and disposed in the landfill sites.
- Landfill: The process of burying waste containing organic materials leads to the decomposition of microbes and microorganisms, both aerobically and anaerobically, due to the availability of organic matter and liquids in the waste. The afore mentioned decomposition process takes place over months and years depending on temperatures and the availability of air and water. Medical waste that has been previously shredded, covered, or treated with sterilization can be disposed of in landfills.
- Incineration: It is a process of dry oxidation under elevated temperature that reduces organic and permeable wastes into inorganic, incombustible materials and leads to a significant reduction in the volume and weight of the waste. This method is chosen to treat waste that cannot be recycled, reused, or disposed of at the landfill site.
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
Waste is collected from its source from houses, shops, companies, and factories. Waste trucks passed every day to collect waste as well as there are dumpsites located in various places randomly. Waste transported to the landfills for disposal either by burning it or burying it under ground.
Some items collected by rubbish collectors for recycling. Those items are plastic and metal which then sold to the small traders who then sell them to the exporters or large traders who process them and reuse them in producing new products such as electrical and wastewater pipes.
Yemen has sixteen sewage treatment plants (STPs) that are functional and nine under construction. The data in Table 1 indicate that the actual flow rate (m3/d) of STPs in the capital city of Yemen (Sana’a) is more than the design flow rate which negatively affects the efficiency of treatment plants. In comparison, the STP in Taiz was designed with a capacity of 17,000 m3/d but the plant receives more than 25,000 m3/d.
It has been reported that 9% of the STPs treat sewage from the primary to the secondary stage with activated sludge using Imhoff tanks. In contrast, 68% depend only on stabilization ponds which represent the main problem in Yemen since stabilization ponds are designed as a primary treatment process which has extremely low capacity to reduce pathogens in sewage. Furthermore, the total capacity of the STPs in Yemen range between 230,388 m3/d and 239,388 m3/d, while the total quantity of sewage generated was 277,777.8 m3/d from 1.7 million people (representing 7% of the total population which is 24.5 million)

List of wastewater treatment plants in Yemen
One of the limitations which reduces the efficiency of STPs in Yemen is the absence of energy required for operating wastewater and sewage treatment plants. Consequently, the segregation or separation of black water from greywater is an option for increasing the efficiency of STPs and minimizing the health risks associated with wastes in Yemen.
