Overview: The governorates of Aden, Lahj, Abyan, Shabwah, Marib, Taiz, Al-Dhale’, and Hadhramaut, and the West Coast, is facing a complex humanitarian crisis with significant protection risks due to the ongoing conflict, natural disasters, and limited access to basic services. Protection risks such as Housing, Land, and Property-related Risks, Heavy rains and floods, Cholera Outbreaks, fire incidents, Unexploded Ordnances (UXOs) and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW), and other protection risks include gender-based violence, child protection issues, lack of access to civil documentation, and the vulnerability of marginalized groups, such as the Muhamasheen, to discrimination and exclusion. Concerted efforts are needed to strengthen the coordination of protection responses, enhance early warning systems, and address the underlying drivers of the crisis to ensure the safety and well-being of the affected population in the Aden hub.
