Protection, Gender and Inclusion 
(PGI) 
Policy, a trailblazing moment for this stra-
tegic priority in the IFRC, and the result of two 
years of wide-ranging consultation.
The tools and process to support adherence 
to the new policy were finalized and shared; 
in particular the 
PGI Operational Framework
to guide operational implementation and the 
Organizational 
Assessment Toolkit
to guide 
institutional implementation.

In July 2022, heavy rains led to floods causing 
extensive damage and continued across Yemen 
into August 2022. These resulted in loss of lives, 
destruction of property and livelihoods, and 
damage to critical infrastructure such as roads.

mented activities, including rapid assessment, 
First Aid, evacuation, ambulance services, 
and psychosocial support, with deployments 
and assessments supported by the IFRC, the 
Norwegian Red Cross, the ICRC, as well as the 
YRCS’s own Emergency Response Fund (ERF) 
and supplemented by the prepositioned relief 
items held at branches and regional warehouses.
Through this DREF operation, immediate shelter 
and WASH needs of flood affected households 
have been met.
The British Red Cross, Danish Red Cross, German 
Red Cross, Japanese Red Cross, Netherlands Red 
Cross, Norwegian Red Cross, Swedish Red Cross, 
Turkish Red Crescent Society, Qatar Red Crescent,
