Abstract

Yemen is noted to have the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. This condition is due to the civil war for the past six years, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged as a health security threat. This research aims to analyse the WHO’s role in responding health crisis in Yemen. By using qualitative methods and literature review approach, this article uses Atlas.ti to collect data regarding WHO’s activity in Yemen throughout the pandemic analysed by the international organisation’s role concept according to Clive Archer. The health security concept is also used to explain the health situation in Yemen during the pandemic. This research found accordance between WHO’s activities with Clive Archer’s idea of roles, mainly on its role as an independent actor to combat the health crisis in Yemen. However, the three roles are intertwined. As WHO has emphasised the importance of international aid to overcome Yemen’s health emergency, the writer recommends strengthening global solidarity with Yemen’s authority to improve health within the country.

Abstract

This research assesses the motives of Saudi Arabia’s aid to Yemen. Saudi Arabia has been the most significant donor to the country whilst threatening humanitarian conditions in Yemen through its military intervention. Thus, this research aims to unveil the Kingdom’s reasons to provide foreign aid to Yemen whilst doing the military intervention. This research uses the seven foreign aid frames according to Veen (2011) to analyse possible interest implied in the Kingdom’s foreign aid delivery to Yemen. The method used in this research is a literature review by analysing the Kingdom’s official statements published on the government's official websites and an interview with a Middle East expert. The statements were coded using qualitative analysis software, Atlas.ti. This study finds that Saudi Arabia has four significant motives to provide foreign aid to Yemen, namely humanitarian, reputation, security, and power. The four frames are connected but mostly related to the Kingdom’s objective to maintain its power. Thus, foreign aid is used as a soft power tool to preserve Saudi Arabia’s influence against economic and security threats, prevent an unfriendly regime from ruling Yemen, and increase its reputation in the international sphere.

Abstract

Abstract Yemen is one of the most volatile countries in the Middle East. The civil war that is taking place in Yemen has worsened the country's internal conditions with many threats to human security. Various threats to human security have become increasingly apparent since Operation Decisive Storm in 2015. This study aims to discuss the humanitarian condition in Yemen in 2015-2021 using the human security concept. The method used is qualitative with literature study data collection. The data obtained were collected and analysed using Atlas.ti software. The results showed that Yemen experienced insecurity in the seven dimensions of human security (economic, food, health, environment, personal, community, and political), which are interrelated. Various factors cause insecurity in Yemen, including attacks by weapons of war, limited access, and climate change. However, these causes arise because of the continuation of the war. Therefore, the cessation of war is the main thing that needs to be done to prevent a continuing threat. Keywords: civil war, human security, humanitarian crisis, Yemen Abstrak Yaman merupakan salah satu negara dengan instabilitas tinggi di Timur Tengah. Perang saudara yang berlangsung di Yaman telah memperburuk kondisi dalam negeri negara tersebut dengan banyaknya ancaman terhadap keamanan manusia. Berbagai bentuk ancaman terhadap keamanan manusia semakin jelas terlihat sejak Operasi Badai yang Menentukan (Operation Decisive Storm) pada tahun 2015. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas kondisi kemanusiaan di Yaman pada tahun 2015-2021 dengan menggunakan konsep keamanan manusia. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data studi literatur. Data yang diperoleh dikumpulkan dan dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak Atlas.ti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Yaman mengalami ketidakamanan pada ketujuh dimensi keamanan manusia (ekonomi, pangan, kesehatan, lingkungan, personal, komunitas, politik) yang saling berkaitan satu sama lainnya. Terdapat berbagai macam faktor yang menyebabkan ketidakamanan di Yaman, di antaranya adalah serangan senjata perang, keterbatasan akses, serta perubahan iklim. Akan tetapi, berbagai penyebab tersebut sejatinya muncul karena adanya keberlangsungan perang. Oleh karena itu, berhentinya perang menjadi hal utama yang perlu dilakukan untuk mencegah ancaman yang berkelanjutan. Kata kunci: keamanan manusia, krisis kemanusiaan, perang saudara, Yaman
