Yemen Situation Update, 1 June – 15 July 2018

Situation Update

• Due to the escalation of active fighting around Hodeidah and humanitarian activities targeting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), the Logistics Cluster has been assessing the fuel and storage needs of implementing partners delivering assistance to IDPs at Humanitarian Service Points and Transit Sites in the Hodeidah governorate.

• The Logistics Cluster has been tasked with coordinating Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) deliveries to the Humanitarian Service Points (HSPs) and Transit Points (TPs) established to provide IDPs with relief items. The Logistics Cluster is coordinating the consolidation of RRM deliveries from UNICEF, UNFPA and WFP warehouses in Hodeidah to HSP and TP warehouses in Hodeidah and Hajjah governates.

• Meanwhile, NFI stocks belonging to humanitarian organisations responding to the crisis in Hodeidah and coordinated by the Logistics Cluster were moved to a newly identified warehouse used by WFP and the Logistics Cluster in Al Marawi’ah in the surroundings of Hodeidah. Alongside these items, fuel stocks of diesel and petrol stored at the Hodeidah fuel station, which is coordinated by the Logistics Cluster, were moved to Sana’a. The Logistics Cluster is now looking for an alternative fuel station in Hodeidah to ensure continued fuel availability within the city.
