Abstract Background Childhood vaccination rates in Yemen remain alarmingly low, and recent political developments have restricted vaccine delivery. Understanding population access to vaccinations through existing delivery modalities, including fixed mobile services, is critical inform strategies improve access, increase coverage, prevent outbreaks. Methods We developed a geospatial model of national subnational via health facilities teams, using newly datasets accounting for conflict-related effects. calculated travel times sites offering immunizations estimated the number percentage under-5 with vaccines. also conducted scale-up identify prioritize locations where additional teams would most access. Results estimate that 2023, 66.3% (3.57 million) Yemeni lived within 30-minute walk facility or site vaccinations, compared 56.5% living alone. Even contributions, we find substantial regional variation; 13 22 governorates, more than one-third children cannot 30 min. In our analysis, optimal 300 new by an 7.2% population. Conclusions Using improves geographic Yemen; however, significant gaps will even dedicated efforts. Geospatial modelling offers rigorous approach evaluating impact different service methods conflict settings can help optimize targeting strategies.

Thematic analysis used analyze data. Results: The found have access services under terms, conditions restrictions including out-of-pocket (OOP) payment. In contrast, find traditional guarantor systems largely ineffective, leading high OOP costs for most services, few exceptions. reveals paradox within Lebanon’s fragile environment. greater minimal certain extent, compared themselves who remain entrenched inadequate support poor public administration.

Abstract In this study, we explore the challenges faced by humanitarian organizations engaged in relief efforts for internally displaced individuals during armed conflicts. Based on our semistructured interviews with three local nongovernmental (LNGOs) Syria, introduce a new appointment scheduling problem to improve decision‐making aid delivery planning conflict settings. Operating highly resource‐constrained environment, these LNGOs face complexities that necessitate effective decision support tools streamline supply at facilities, where large number of registered beneficiaries are served. Our proposed aims optimize allocation times various supplies, taking into account urgency needs and operational limitations. We present heuristic addresses flexible way. The can accommodate simple rules derived from LNGOs' policies ground, such as imposing single visit per beneficiary, delivering type day, preallocating time slots groups. case study based Latakia district Syria assess performance effectiveness simplified strategies. results not only showcase efficiency heuristic, but also provide valuable managerial insights. find cross‐training staff is more beneficial when supplies relatively abundant. Furthermore, certain conditions contingent upon factors, including scarcity, difficulty travel, level population.
