CEP Webinar: Is Humanitarian Aid Helping Yemen? A Study of Houthi Exploitation
of International Assistance


(New York, N.Y.) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) invites you to a
webinar on Thursday, June 20, 2024, to present a new, in-depth report on Houthi
diversion of humanitarian assistance in Yemen.

Despite receiving over $20 billion in international humanitarian assistance
over the past decade, the humanitarian situation in Yemen remains precarious.
One reason for this protracted crisis seems to be systematic aid diversion by
the Houthis on a significant scale. The Houthis have established a
sophisticated structure to exploit humanitarian assistance for their own ends
and prevent some of the aid from reaching those most in need in the country.

Unfortunately, they have encountered only limited pushback from organizations
that are funded for the express purpose of helping Yemen’s most vulnerable.
Furthermore, reporting on aid delivery by humanitarian organizations is not
transparent, which complicates and frustrates efforts to counter Houthi
diversion of humanitarian assistance.

What is the scale of the aid diversion problem? How do the Houthis influence
the way in which aid is allocated? How can humanitarian organizations minimize
the problem of Houthi aid diversion?

CEP’s webinar and attendant report will address these issues. The webinar will
be conducted in English via Zoom.
