“The Role of the United Nations in Providing Humanitarian Assistance to the Yemeni Society”

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the role of the United Nations in providing humanitarian assistance to the Yemeni society during the aggression against Yemen, as well as to uncover the obstacles it faces in delivering such assistance. The historical method was employed to trace the emergence, development, objectives, and principles of the United Nations, in addition to the content analysis method, which was applied to analyze scientific studies and both local and international reports related to the research topic. One of the most significant findings of the study is that the role of the United Nations in providing humanitarian assistance to the Yemeni society during the period of aggression against Yemen was weak. The research also revealed the existence of several obstacles that hindered the United Nations from delivering humanitarian aid effectively and positively across various fields. The study concluded with a set of recommendations and suggestions that could strengthen the role of the United Nations in providing assistance to the Yemeni society in the future, through addressing the identified obstacles, ensuring the continuation of international support for active civil society organizations on the ground, and working to protect them from polarization by all parties.
