"The area is no longer inhabitable," says Naif from our partner Jeel Al Bena - Yemen, after floods destroyed over 800 shelters in Al Mahweet’s Malhan district in just one day. Communities are cut off, and urgent humanitarian assistance is desperately needed.

An IDP site in the outskirts of Sana'a, home to 200 displaced families, faced severe flooding after over 1 meter of rainfall. UNHCR Yemen, Shelter Cluster Yemen and our partner are working on essential flood mitigation measures, building drainage systems to protect these families.

🏠 Nearly a decade of conflict has devastated #Yemen's housing sector, leaving thousands of homes in need of rehabilitation. In Taiz & Al Hudaydah, 571 displaced families are using cash support to rebuild and return home—a step toward recovery.

Sua'ad is one of millions who struggles to access health services. Only half of all health facilities in #Yemen are operational, including semi-functional ones. We met Sua'ad and referred her case to partners, who work to ensure people like her receive the care they need.

At 12, Abdulqadir, a Somali asylum seeker in #Yemen, couldn’t attend school due to missing documents. Community volunteers helped him enroll in accelerated learning classes supported by UNHCR. He is determined to become a pilot & support his family. Education changes lives.💫

While remarkable progress has been made in global #RefugeeEducation, nearly half of the 14.8 million school-aged refugee children worldwide are still out of school. In #Yemen, we're working to change that through our back-to-school campaign. Read more: bit.ly/3zc3REL

Ameen (11), Aline (7), and baby Ali fled their shelter during storms in Hudaydah. Now back, they face waterborne diseases and hunger, forcing Ameen to beg for survival. Like 2.3 million displaced children in #Yemen, they rely on life-saving aid to endure these difficult times.

99 Somali refugees—including women, men, children, and the elderly, some of whom arrived decades ago and others born in #Yemen —have chosen to return home to #Somalia. UNHCR & partners provided medical checks, cash aid, and an integration package to help them restart their lives.

Visited a temporary school at Dharwan IDP site, where 140 students learn despite challenges. Teachers work without incentives & the school needs additional partitions. Still, children make steady progress! With 4.5M kids out of school in #Yemen, investing in education is vital!

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon are now relentlessly claiming hundreds of civilian lives. And I am very saddened to confirm that two UNHCR colleagues were also killed yesterday. On behalf of all us at UNHCR, heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.
