Yemen faces escalating violence and displacements

The humanitarian situation in Yemen is experiencing a severe deterioration amid escalating clashes and increasing numbers of internally displaced persons, especially in Taiz Governorate, which faces isolation due to blocked roads. Hospitals are critically short of fuel and medicines, threatening the outbreak of diseases and epidemics such as cholera. United Nations organizations have warned that continued hostile escalation will further impact civilians, noting that since the start of the conflict in June, more than 233,000 people have been displaced, including about 121,000 in Taiz. Relief organizations face restrictions on access to vulnerable children, many of whom have been killed or injured as a result of violence. The health situation in Taiz is extremely dire, with medical supplies and fuel stockpiles exhausted, and difficulties in providing necessary care. There are growing fears of a cholera outbreak in the region and in refugee camps in Djibouti and Somalia.
