According to the United Nations, Yemen ranks 151st out of 177 countries on the human development index (HDI), a measure of life expectancy, education, and standard of living.[1] Yemen has the lowest HDI rank among the Arab states.[1] Several welfare programs are in place, but they have generally been considered inadequate to meet the needs of Yemen’s impoverished citizens (estimated to exceed 45 percent of the total population).[1]
The main social assistance program is the Social Welfare Fund, initially established to compensate for reductions in economic subsidies.[1] This program provides 650,000 beneficiaries direct cash payments capped at US$11 per month and lump-sum payments for emergencies.[1] In July 2005, the government announced it would extend coverage to an additional 200,000 beneficiaries.[1] The Social Development Fund and the Public Works Project were established almost 10 years ago with World Bank funds.[1] These programs attempt to raise living standards through various community development, capacity-building, and micro-financing programs; it has been difficult, however, to obtain the necessary commercial bank credit to make these programs viable.[1] In early 2005, Yemen’s parliament adopted a government budget requiring that the government provide additional resources for social safety nets to lessen the impact of economic reforms that might result in higher consumer prices.[1]

Poverty in Yemen is region's problem

Poverty in Yemen is getting worse. An unstable political environment, lack of security and the rise in the worldwide price of food and fuel mean the country is struggling to feed its people. As the World Food Programme reported on Sunday, around half of Yemen's 25 million people go to bed hungry every night, and five million people who cannot grow food for themselves or purchase it are in urgent need of help.

How did it come to this?
After the uprising that finally ended the decades-long rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemenis were looking forward to better days. But a lack of clear political control - and continued jockeying for position by elements of the old Saleh regime - have created conditions of instability across the country. In a land that should be able to grow much of its own food, with the highest percentage of arable land on the Arabian Peninsula, imports are the main source of sustenance.
In time Yemen will need assistance - in the form of expertise, training and cash - to revitalise its struggling agriculture sector. For now, however, what Yemenis need most is an immediate infusion of food.
The UAE has contributed significantly to prevent a humanitarian crisis in its near abroad. Through the Khalifa Bin Zayed Humanitarian Foundation, the UAE has distributed thousands of food baskets as part of a Dh500 million grant. This is in addition to Dh500 million spent during Ramadan. Other countries have also stepped in, pledging US$1.46 billion in aid last Thursday in New York.
Yet Yemen still suffers from too much attention paid to the wrong issues, namely security and the military agendas of foreign powers. This type of support merely manages Yemen's problem, rather than attacking its roots. President Abdrabu Mansur Hadi has spent a great deal of his short time in power negotiating Yemen's notoriously complex politics, and trying to weaken the grip of Mr Saleh's allies. All of this has meant a lack of focus on the economy, which is badly managed, and on political unity, which is weakening as the months pass.
Poverty on the Arabian Peninsula will eventually have knock-on effects elsewhere. Yemen's neighbours, such as the UAE, and allies, like the United States, can help by telling Yemen's government that real reform is needed, and now.

Those are mostly Somalian immigrants and other immigrants which Yemen has a lot of. Especially from the Horn of Africa. Or Afro-Arabs.

Yemen despite not being a rich country is doing OK given that they do not have even 1/100 of the gas and oil that Iran survives on.

But sure if you can help Yemen or your Shia Zaydi brothers in Yemen with your gas and oil money then you should do it if you claim that you are truly a "Islamic state". At least KSA is doing that.

Even helping Iran.

Or treating Iranian children in Saudi Arabian hospitals.

King orders cancer-hit Iranian girl

We do not see anything of that from Iran.

We are the regions biggest humanitarian backers. All that comes from your Mullah's is terrorism or oppression of minorities in Iran that make up 40% of the country.

Sure it is rafida troll who is a Azeri Turk but hides it and is ashamed of it becuse of the famous Persian racism.

See you could not answer my post.

Why are Iranians seeking treatment in KSA then? Why is KSA donating to you when you are not donating to us or any other countries despite having more gas money and equally as much oil? Why are you not helping your Shia Zaydi brothers in Yemen?

No wonder that you are a isolated, poor, sanctioned and hated country.

"Islamic Republic of Iran" should be changed to "Pariah State of Mullahistan".

The wahabit sect & the muslims brothers sect all dogs of the JEWS, want to prevent the arabs to develop correctly everywhere.

They only weaken the arabs in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt for the final assault of the JEW USA who will enslave or kill everybody, like they do against the poor palestinians heroes.

The wahabit fake muslims want to block the arabs so the JEWS can make the Great Israhell from the rich Nile to the Euphrate

You are mainly posting pictures of illegal African immigrants mainly from the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia). Of course they are poor. Yemen does moreover not live off the gas and oil money that the Iranian Mullah's survive on.

By: A Correspondent in Tehran for Al-Monitor Iran Pulse Posted on May 15.

TEHRAN — Just south of Tehran’s sprawling central bazaar lies a poor neighborhood called Davarze Ghar, or the "entrance to the cave," known locally for drugs and stolen goods. Groups of men and veiled women huddle together around an empty reservoir smoking the noxious amphetamine crystal meth or injecting crack, a processed form of heroin unique to the Islamic Republic.

A line of schoolgirls dressed in smart white and pink uniforms with matching plastic Barbie rucksacks are led past the reservoir by their watchful teacher, clad in a long black chador. Police on motorbikes pass by regularly but do not stop.
“In Tehran, meth is more available than bread,” says Abolfazl, a young man (whose name has been changed along with all the others') in military service fatigues, crouching against the only painted wall in the neighborhood: a huge, brightly colored mural honoring a martyr of Iran’s long war with Iraq. “There’s nothing do here. We smoke meth to forget ourselves.”
The World Drug Report frequently cites Iran as having one of the highest levels of heroin addiction in the world. Officially, Iran has 2 million drug addicts but experts agree that the real figure is significantly higher. The country’s position along the Afghanistan-Europe heroin trafficking routes and stigma among its poorer communities around alcohol are oft-cited reasons for Iran’s centuries-old drug problem. But rising unemployment, high inflation and a currency that has lost over half its value since sanctions were placed on Iran at the start of 2011 have compounded the crisis.
Joblessness has impacted traditional industrial areas such as southern Tehran, where residents also face a sharp rise in their cost of living because of the currency crisis, brought on by the sanctions and poor monetary control by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Arash, who owns a stationery business and buys his paper products from an industrial satellite town, says more than half of the factories have closed down since last year. “Production has fallen fast because it costs so much to import,” he explains. “The town now looks like a war zone.”
Reza, a social worker from nearby Moulavi, says that the closure of factories has led to an unemployment crisis and a sharp rise in drug abuse. Iran has progressive harm-reduction programs in place but Reza says the government has not allocated extra funds because the oil embargo has hit state revenues.
“These people have no jobs and they cannot afford to get married so many become disappointed,” he says, “They head to the north of the city to rob people or burgle houses to support their habit.”
Like drug addiction, no reliable figures exist for crime, but Tehran residents report a noticeable rise in Iran’s traditionally low violent crime rate. Most people have a story of a relative or neighbor who has been a victim of assault or robbery in recent months.
Lack of trust in the currency has forced Iranians to convert their bank savings into dollars and gold, making muggings and burglaries more lucrative for criminals.
“I woke up lying in an open sewer down an alley. They took everything, even my shoes,” says Hamid, who was smothered with a chloroform-soaked rag when he entered what he thought was a taxi. “I was asking everyone for help but they thought I was crazy so I walked home.”
"A year ago I would walk home at any time of night but now I worry about who is coming the other way,” says a student living in a middle-class uptown neighborhood. “The government is robbing the people so many learn from their example.”
A video circulating on YouTube shows a CCTV recording of two armed men in balaclavas enter a Tehran jeweler’s. One points an automatic weapon in the cashier’s face, while the other hurdles the counter, taking cash and jewels.
In another video a man in the street is approached in broad daylight by two men on a motorbike wearing surgical masks. One jumps off wielding a huge knife, mugging and slashing the man before making his getaway.
Similar scenes regularly appear on state-run television, edited with dramatic police raids, and appeals by members of the public for swift justice. They serve as propaganda showing Iran has crime under control.
The head of the national police, Esmail Ahmadi-Moghaddam, said that last year [which ended in March] was the safest on record in history of the Islamic Republic. He issued a near-identical statement the year before. But the authorities' reaction betrays this sanguine view. In a heavy-handed offensive, two robbers were publicly hanged earlier this year in Artists’ Park, Tehran’s most bohemian hang-out.
After CCTV footage of the violent robbery overdubbed with confessions was played on state television, the two were ushered before a judge in a Revolutionary Court within two weeks. Wearing the same clothes as those in the CCTV footage, the two were sentenced to death for "waging war on God."
The head of the judiciary, Sadegh Larijani, confirmed that the harshness of sentence, which is usually reserved for murderers, religious proselytizers and homosexuals, was issued as a deterrent
Most Iranians would likely agree to such sentences for violent criminals, although the victim of the crime reportedly said he wanted the men pardoned from death.
A shopkeeper drinks a small glass of tea outside near Artists’ Park and says: “In Iran, if you steal a wallet you’re executed, if you steal a car they throw you in prison, and if you steal billions you’re free to do whatever you want.”
