Who we are
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the UN agency dedicated to protecting and assisting refugees, asylum-seekers, stateless individuals, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). In Yemen, UNHCR collaborates with partners to support these vulnerable groups and works alongside authorities to enhance the conditions of those affected by conflict and disasters.
