OVERVIEW OF HUMANITARIAN NEEDS IN YEMEN
AL HUDAYDAH HUB
The situation in Al Hudaydah governorate witnessed ground fighting and airstrikes, mainly in Al Hudaydah City. Reports suggested return of some displaced families to their homes.
Humanitarian agencies continued to scale-up their programs to respond to the huge needs of affected population.
A strike hit an IDP hosting site in Haradh district that used to accommodate 210 IDPs and resulted in the killing of 8 civilians and injury of 30 including women and children while the other residents fled the site to other location.
The fighting in Hajjah conflict frontlines(mainly in Haradh, Mustaba and Kushar districts) has forced families to flee the fighting to other districts such as Abs, Ku’aydinah, Khayran Al Muharraq and other districts within the governorate. Displaced families were found to be in need of NFIs and Shelter assistance.
Inter-agency mission to Hajjah revealed that there is daily flow of displacement towards Abs district and the needs for NFI and shelter assistance are increasing, particularly for those who are living in inadequate shelters.
ADEN HUB
The fighting in Lahj, Al Dhale’e and Taizz governorates in addition to Al Hudaydah governorate continue to push families who have no choice but to leave their homes and seek safety.
Reports indicated that families tend to settle in south Taizz,
Aden, Lahj and Abyan governorates.
IBB HUB
SNCC (Sub-National Cluster Coordinator) organized field visit participated by UNHCR, NAMCHA (National Authority for the Management and Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Recovery) and YWU team to an IDP hosting site in Dhi As Sufal district to assess the needs and gaps in the site. After the mission, eight families who were found to be in dire need of assistance were provided with family tents and NFIs.
SA’ADAH HUB
Fighting in many districts along the border of Sa’adah governorate resulted in massive displacement mainly to Sa’adah City. Many IDPs and host communities are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance since they are away from their home and deprived from access to basic needs.
Access remains an issue in some of the districts of Sa’adah and Al Jawf which hinders the delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in need.
