EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The current conflict in Yemen has had an immense impact across all governorates in Yemen, leading to the displacement of over 100,000 households in the past seven weeks alone. The most pressing humanitarian issue that remains is the severe lack of basic services and items of life, such as food, fuel, water and sanitation supplies; in fact, in many areas, these services have been entirely absent. The most recent conflict in the district of Sirwah has caused an additional displaacement of around 1,000 households to various locations in the governorate of Ma’rib.

Without adequate assistance, these shortfalls continue to contribute to a humanitarian crisis. After a ceasefire was announced on 15 May, Islamic Help UK (IHUK) conducted a raid field assessment out of its sub-office in Al-Matoon to assess the situation of IDP households and their most pressing needs.
The assessment covered the following districts: Al-Matoon, Al-Zahir, Al-Khalq,
Al-Matamah, Al-Ghayl, Al-Hazm, and Kharab Al-Marashi.
