Heavy torrential rains and flooding on July 23rd has destroyed homes and threatening lives in Yemen. Over 1,300 shelters have been damaged or destroyed, and thousands need our urgent support after losing their possessions, including clothes, mattresses, blankets, food…and more. Access to clean water, latrines, and food are extremely challenging now.
Donate now to help and shelter affected displaced families.
UNHCR’s teams are working tirelessly to provide shelter and emergency aid to those impacted. Given the region’s vulnerability to flooding, UNHCR had previously installed flood mitigation measures, including a bypass channel, but the severity of the rains has put these systems under strain.
Yemen has already suffered through years of conflict and humanitarian crises, and now extreme weather is making life even harder for people forced to flee. About 80 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line, and almost half, including about 4.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) face severe food insecurity. Your generous and urgent donation today is vital and will help shelter and protect families facing compounding challenges.
