The United Nations announced that the escalation of the conflicts in Yemen forced more than 281,000 people to leave their homes since the beginning of August this year.

OCHA, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, reported on Wednesday, October 29 (Oct 28), that three quarters of the displaced live in places without shelter, safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. More than 230 thousand people need emergency assistance in the field of water and sanitation.

According to this organization, damage to the important roads connecting Taiz to the southern districts forced the rescuers to use narrow mountain paths. Medical services are also targeted in a ground attack and the delivery of medical aid is under increasing pressure.

The UN Population Fund also warned of the risk of sexual violence, human trafficking and forced marriage, especially in dense refugee settlements.
