The suffering of millions of people with disabilities in Yemen

Millions of people with disabilities in Yemen have not only endured years of war on Yemen but are also among those most excluded amid what the United Nations has called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, Amnesty International said today.

It follows six months of research, including visits to three southern Yemeni governorates and interviews with almost 100 people – documenting the experience of 53 women, men and children with a wide spectrum of disabilities.

“International donors, the United Nations, and humanitarian organizations working with the Yemeni authorities must do more to overcome the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from meeting even their most basic needs.”
