The United Nations Mission to Support the Hudaydah Agreement (UNMHA) has recorded ten (10) landmine and explosive remnants of war (ERW) related incidents in Hudaydah Governorate with almost all of these incidents linked to the severe rains and flooding experienced in the governorate. In these incidents ten (10) civilians were injured (including 2 boys) and four (4) civilians were killed. As the rains and flooding continue, the governorate saw an increase in the risk of landmine and ERW migration into previous safe areas as in some cases motorcycles and vehicles must divert from known safe routes into unknown areas due to the flooding.

The districts of Ad Durayhimi and Bayt Al faqih continue to be some of the most impacted districts in the governorate
