After extreme rainfall and the bursting of three dams in the Al Mahweet governate, several areas in Yemen were struck by catastrophic floods. In the past month, floods have claimed 97 lives and injured many more, affecting over 56,000 homes and displacing over 1,000 families.
Thousands have lost everything, and with hardly any access to food, clean water, shelter, clothing, blankets and more, the need for humanitarian support on the ground is urgent.
Your donation today can bring much-needed relief and shelter to displaced families.
UNHCR teams are working tirelessly to bring emergency aid to those most at-risk, providing cash assistance, shelter kits and other essential relief items, helping families rehabilitate their homes and afford their urgent needs.
After years of conflict and economic deterioration, these floods further aggravate the sufferings of millions of internally displaced people.
The UNHCR ‘Internally Displaced Persons Protection Monitoring Update’ report states that as of August 30th 2024, 85% of families cannot meet their basic food needs, facing the harsh reality of hunger, every day. Many have resorted to extreme coping mechanisms, like reduced meal sizes or skipping meals altogether.
4.5 million internally displaced persons are at risk of hunger.
Your compassion today is vital to help shelter and protect those who are facing unimaginable challenges.
