The introduction of biometrics in Yemen is a prime example of challenges related to the use of biometric solutions in humanitarian contexts.

The humanitarian crisis in Yemen
This humanitarian catastrophe is man-made. The truism that reality is complex should not be used to detract from this simple but unpleasant fact.
According to the UN, more than 16 million of those face crises levels of food insecurity and, of those, 3.5 million women and children require acute treatment for malnutrition. A child dies every 10 minutes from diseases, such as measles and diphtheria, that could easily be prevented, leading UN Secretary-General António Guterres to describe childhood in Yemen as a special kind of hell.

New lease of life for Hartcliffe City Farm
By Lowie Trevena, Monday Mar 8, 2021
A city farm will receive a new lease of life, thanks to a new partnership with two other local organisations.
Hartcliffe City Farm will now be looked after by Windmill Hill City Farm and Heart of BS13, a charity addressing health and environment problems in south Bristol for more than 30 years.
The site will remain as a farm, but the new custodians hope to also provide jobs and learning opportunities, and to host activities for the local community.
