Houthi Attacks Increase Displacement in Lahj
The hostilities carried out by the Houthis are intensifying in Lahj Governorate in southern Yemen, as they target residential villages with mortars and drones, leading to a widespread wave of displacement among residents from the areas under shelling. Local authorities are facing challenges in accommodating the increasing number of displaced people and providing them with essential shelter, amid limited resources and a weak humanitarian response. Supporting the displaced requires community solidarity and initiatives from property owners to assist in providing affordable housing, while the Houthi group seeks to pressure government forces by targeting residential gatherings, which worsens the suffering of civilians and hampers relief efforts. Additionally, the humanitarian crisis in Taiz is deepening, as restrictions on major roads hinder aid delivery, and conditions related to health and water worsen, with more than 233,000 people displaced due to the escalation—among them hundreds of children and women—living under difficult conditions.
