The environment with all its components, as well as the economic situation in Yemen. The study focuses on the use of descriptive statistical analysis and quantitative economic analysis. The research relied on secondary data published during the first two periods of 2009-2014 (before the conflict) and the second period of 2015-2020 (during the conflict). The results indicate: that the current conflict in Yemen constitutes a dangerous phenomenon at all the economic, social, environmental and humanitarian levels. The results show a decrease in the national income by 7.8% compared to what it was before the conflict, as well as a decline in the average GDP by about 22.6% from what it was before the conflict, As well as the sharp decline in the average value of exports by 6.8 billion dollars, and the sharp deterioration in the value of the local currency against the dollar by about 76%, which led to a significant increase in poverty rates and the collapse of official social security networks for poor families, and that more than 40% of families The Yemeni government has lost its main source of income, despite the decline in services provided to the population, and consequently the increase in the mortality rate for children under five years of age, as well as the weakness of the employment rate than it was before the conflict, and the percentage of cultivated area decreased in 2016 to 38%, and as a result, the production yield decreased to 42% These effects appear in a decline in cereal production by 416 thousand tons, representing about 50% of cereal production before the conflict, and also a decrease in the total natural resource revenues in relation to GDP by 90% compared to the previous year.
