Yemen conflict drives 122k more displaced
The Executive Unit for Managing Displaced Persons Camps in Yemen has confirmed that the recent military escalation by the Houthi movement has led to the displacement of over 122,000 people during the first half of September 2026. The displaced individuals are primarily concentrated in the provinces of Taiz, Lahij, and Aden, with Taiz recording the highest number at 66,972 displaced persons from 9,562 families, followed by Lahij with 31,577 displaced persons. The recent military escalation, which involved advances and changes in the positions of government forces in the Western Coast and parts of Taiz, caused significant disruptions that compelled families to flee once again from previously settled areas. The current humanitarian situation requires providing shelter, food, safe drinking water, and healthcare services, with a special focus on protecting children, women, and the elderly. International organizations are calling for expanded interventions to address urgent needs due to deteriorating security and the rising number of displaced persons.
