• Food assistance remains a priority need for displaced individuals in RoYG-controlled southern Yemen, according to two UN agency assessments, as household income declines countrywide.

• Cholera cases continue to rise across Yemen, with WHO recording an average of 7,000 new suspected cholera cases per week, placing food-insecure and other vulnerable populations at heightened risk.

• Muhamasheen women and girls living in Al Hudaydah Governorate lack access to basic items and services, safe and regular housing, and sufficient income-earning opportunities, exacerbating protection risks, according to UNFPA.
