The projects were expected to assist 9 million of the neediest people,according to statement announced by the bank on Tuesday .

"The Emergency Crisis Response project will receive a grant of USD 250 million to provide income opportunities for two million highly impoverished Yemenis, including women, youth and internally displaced people," the statement said.

The first project will also strengthen the Social Fund for Development (SFD) and the Public Works Project (PWP), two key Yemeni institutions that deliver services at the community level, now critical for building up the resilience of Yemenis to cope with the impacts of the ongoing conflict."

The remaining USD 200 million will go toward the Emergency Health and Nutrition Project which will "maintain the capacity of the existing health systems, while providing health and nutrition services to an estimated 7 million Yemenis," the statement said
