Struggling Over Every Drop: Yemen’s Crisis of Aridity and Political Collapse
Yemen is facing one of the world’s worst water crises due to extreme drought, excessive groundwater depletion, institutional collapse, and ongoing armed conflict.

This crisis reflects a deep interconnection between political and environmental instability.
