My current mastery of this grammar:
やむを得ない
is a set expression meaning can't stop doing (something), can't help doing (something)

It can follow a phrase marked by the topic marker indicating the 'something' which can't be helped':
やむを得ない functions as an adjective, so it can modify a clause which comes next:
See also:
- 〜ざるを得ない（ざるをえない） - can't help doing
