YEMEN EMERGENCY RESPONSE UPDATE: International Medical Corps remains focused on sustaining essential healthcare, nutrition, maternal and child health, mental health and disease-response services for communities in Yemen affected by conflict and displacement as urgent humanitarian needs continue to increase.
Conflict-driven displacement along Yemen’s west coast is driving a rapidly worsening humanitarian crisis.
• 12,597 newly displaced households (86,415 people) reported across Abyan, Aden, Al Hodeidah, Lahj, Shabwah and Taiz governorates.
• Approximately 300,000 people are now affected across the west coast.
• Lahj has become a major destination for displaced people, particularly in Al Mudarabah and Ras Al-Arah districts.
• Local authorities have appealed for urgent humanitarian assistance.
We're adapting our response as displacement patterns shift and pressure on essential services intensifies.
