The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reported the displacement of 25 Yemeni families due to economic, security, and health-related issues. This alarming trend highlights the ongoing challenges faced by many in Yemen.
In its weekly report released on Tuesday, the IOM detailed that its displacement tracking matrix recorded the movement of 25 families, totaling 150 individuals, between March 16 and March 22. This data underscores the urgent need for humanitarian assistance in the region.
The report indicates that the displacement primarily originated from the governorates of Al Hudaydah, Taiz, and the capital, Sana’a. Specifically, 12 families relocated to Marib, 8 families moved to Al Hudaydah, and 5 families sought refuge in Taiz. These movements reflect the ongoing instability and insecurity in these areas.
The report reveals that 68% of the newly displaced families, accounting for 17 families, fled due to safety and security concerns. In contrast, 8 families, or 32%, left their homes due to economic hardships linked to the ongoing conflict. These statistics highlight the multifaceted nature of the crisis affecting Yemen.
The IOM report emphasizes that 40% of the newly displaced families require shelter services. Additionally, 28% need cash assistance, while 24% lack access to food supplies. Furthermore, 8% of these families require non-food assistance. These figures illustrate the critical humanitarian needs that must be addressed to support displaced populations.
Since the beginning of this year, the total number of displaced families has risen to 458, affecting 2,748 individuals. This increase reflects the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the urgent need for coordinated efforts to provide assistance and support to those affected.
The IOM continues to monitor the situation closely and calls for increased support to address the needs of displaced families in Yemen.
