Yemen is experiencing a significant increase in displacement due to ongoing military escalation, especially the clashes in the Red Sea coast since the beginning of September 2026. This has led to the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) rising to over 158,000 across eight governorates as of September 20. The displaced are primarily spread across Taiz, Lahj, Aden, and Hodeidah, with increasing pressure on host communities and the humanitarian capacity to meet their needs for shelter, food, water, and health services. International organizations, including the World Food Programme, face restrictions in accessing areas controlled by the Houthis, coupled with decreasing funding, which threatens the implementation of larger-scale humanitarian responses. It is worth noting that over 4.8 million people were already displaced before the recent escalation. The number of new IDPs is estimated between 125,000 and 129,000, amid rising humanitarian and security risks. Additionally, Yemen is facing a severe food and health crisis, with 22.3 million people in need of assistance, amidst accusations of obstructing humanitarian operations due to restrictions on the entry of aid.
