General Context

In Al Hudaydah hub, the Government of Yemen backed by the SLC (Saudi Led Coalition)
Forces launched an attack to capture Red sea port city of Hudaydah on 13th June. This resulted in significant displacement in adjacent coastal districts of Ad Durayhimi,
Al Marawi’ah, Zabid among others with the displacement of over 20,000 IDP families in Al Hudaydah Governorate over the month.

In Ibb hub, In Taizz, continued fighting in Al Hudaydah forced 1,492 families to flee their homes and settle in the southern districts. It was reported that military groups have mounted checkpoints leading to southern Taizz and are not allowing IDPs particularly from Al Hudaydah to pass through. Many families reported that they cannot afford the cost of transport out of Al Hudaydah as well as being concerned that their homes and shops may be looted or occupied.

In Sana’a hub, clashes in Al Hudaydah coastal areas and Al Bayda also resulted in the displacement to Amran, Dhamar, Sana’a and Amanat Al Asimah. Further the humanitarian situation of the affected population in Marib governorate and the residents of Alkhaniq IDP hosting site in Sana’a governorate significantly deteriorated due to the continuation of armed clashes in nearby areas, access issues, increased waves of displacements and low presence of humanitarian actors.

In Sa’adah hub, new waves of displacement continued to be generated from the front line districts in Sa’adah and Al Jawf, resulting in further increased vulnerability of the affected population as the coping mechanisms of the families are continually eroded.

In Aden and Al Mukala hubs, The ongoing fighting in Al Hudaydah and Taizz frontlines led to large displacements mainly from areas such Hays, Al Khawkhah, At Tuhayat,
Ad Durayhimi, Zabid and Bayt Al Faqiah districts in Al Hudaydah governorate and Mawza and Al Wazi’iyah districts in south Taizz to the southern governorates. This is in addition to new influx of displacement from Al Bayda governorate frontlines into areas in Nati’ district located between Al Bayda and Bayhan district in Shabwah Governorate.
