On the contrary, the country has been *de facto* split between north and south, thus creating significant governance and stability challenges. The humanitarian crisis that has unfolded is first to a multiple layer of other problems, such as the fragmentation of state institutions, foreign exchange and liquidity shortages, rise in inflation, soaring commodity prices, disruption of trade flows, weak public sector and rising costs of doing business. On the societal level, Yemen faces severe challenges such as extreme poverty, depletion of water resources, climate vulnerability, gender inequality and youth unemployment."}, {"bbox": [95, 925, 1132, 1082], "category": "Text", "text": "The last UN-mediated truce expired on 2 October 2022 and has left the country in a \"no war no peace\" limbo that fuels uncertainty.
