Urgent aid needed for 297,000 Yemeni families in Marib
A Yemeni report has revealed that the Shabwa Governorate, which hosts the largest concentration of internally displaced persons in Yemen, is experiencing escalating humanitarian needs this year. The report indicated that approximately 296,835 families, including the host community, require urgent assistance amid worsening living conditions and funding shortages. Food security challenges are intensifying, with 234,000 families suffering from severe levels of food insecurity—an increase of 13% compared to the previous year. Additionally, 71% of families live in unsafe camps and shelters, and 69% face the threat of forced eviction. The drinking water crisis is worsening, and the education and health sectors are facing numerous difficulties, with 63% of health facilities destroyed or in disrepair and 99,000 women lacking access to healthcare services. The local government has outlined efforts to enhance the response, including the signing of 26 humanitarian projects costing over $16.8 million to strengthen protection, health, water, and education sectors, with a focus on sustainable development in the 2026 plan.
