No cities meet the criteria for “Poorest Cities in Yemen.”
There is no reliable, up-to-date list that ranks Yemeni cities by poverty in the way the title implies. City-level income or consumption surveys do not exist for the whole country. Conflict, mass displacement, and changing local control make city comparisons unstable. Humanitarian data is collected by district, governorate, and IDP site, not as a clean city poverty ranking.
Expect this empty result when the search asks for a strict, city-by-city poverty list. Poverty measurement needs consistent surveys, stable boundaries, and repeatable methods. Yemen has none of these at the city level right now. Instead, agencies publish governorate-level poverty estimates, district needs assessments, IPC food insecurity phases, malnutrition rates, and displacement counts. Use those proxies when you need evidence about where need is highest.
Look at close alternatives that do exist. Humanitarian reports name places with high need rather than rank them by poverty. Commonly cited locations include Taiz (city and governorate), Al Hudaydah (Hodeidah), Aden, Ibb, Hajjah, Saada, Al Mukalla, Amran, and host communities around Marib that carry large IDP burdens. Check UN OCHA situation reports, IPC food insecurity maps, IOM displacement tracking, World Bank governorate analyses, and UNICEF nutrition data for actionable, city-relevant insight. Explore governorate-level poverty estimates, district-level humanitarian scores, or “cities most affected by humanitarian need” as practical next steps.
