Escalating tensions in the southern and eastern governorates have led to the displacement of 1,634 households from Hadramawt to Marib, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian (OCHA) latest situation report.
The report mentioned that Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) has assisted all those affected households with in-kind and cash support, while Health cluster is supporting 108 health facilities, providing trauma and emergency medical supplies, essential medicines, medical consultations, operational costs, and fuel.
The report added that 15,000 individuals reached with reproductive health services, including emergency obstetric and neonatal care services.
Access constraints, road closures, fuel shortages, and disrupted supply chains continue to limit response capacity.
OCHA continues to liaise with relevant central and local authorities and security forces in Marib, Hadramawt, Aden, Shabwah, Abyan, Lahj, and Ad Dale’. to facilitate safe humanitarian access, where needed.
Given the shifting administrative landscape, OCHA and humanitarian partners are closely monitoring the impact on coordination and liaison mechanisms to ensure the continuity of existing aid programmes and timely access to affected people.
While partners are actively delivering life-saving assistance to the surge of newly displaced populations, response capacity remains severely strained.
The report concluded that “Immediate, flexible funding would be required to sustain operations”.
