Yemen conflict adversely affects waste collection and increases health risks

An assessment conducted by UNDP during July and August in six Yemeni governorates revealed that the conflict has reduced the capacity of local authorities to sufficiently provide and finance waste management services. Fuel Shortages and insecurity led to waste accumulation in the streets, reduction in waste collection frequency and the use of improvised alternative disposal sites, which increases health risks and spread of water-borne diseases. #Yemen #YemenCrisis
