The renewal of fighting in Yemen displaces over 300,000 -. The United Nations Some 249,000 residents, along with an additional 65,000 refugees, are facing a rapidly deteriorating situation in Yemen, reports OCHA, the UN's humanitarian office. The report follows renewed fighting between Yemeni government forces and the Houthis, with the city of Taiz particularly affected by the conflict, as humanitarian aid is unable to keep up with needs. Health services are under severe strain, with shortages of vaccines, maternal and child health drugs, and surgical supplies. More than 123,000 people need hygiene equipment. The already severe food security crisis is deepening. Most households in the heavily displaced districts have not yet received sufficient assistance. substack | talk.
