Displaced Yemenis count their losses

Description

After five years of conflict in Yemen, displaced people and their hosts are struggling to survive. As thousands continue to flee in search of safety, humanitarian needs are fast accruing and basic services and assistance are overstretched. UNHCR is joining efforts with IOM, other UN sister agencies and humanitarian partners to provide crucial assistance to those displaced. Yemen still remains the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with over 24 million in need of assistance and more than 3.6 million people uprooted from their homes. UNHCR is worried that displaced communities and their hosts will be at heightened risk in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak, given their precarious situation and dire living and sanitary conditions.
