Yemen: Shelter Cluster Monthly Situation Report - June 2025

Attachments

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

June 2025 presented extreme operational challenges including record-high temperatures triggering fires in IDP sites (Marib), civil unrest over economic collapse (Aden/Lahj), and severe funding cuts crippling responses (Sa’ada/West Coast). Despite this, hubs delivered critical shelter support: 1,000+ NFI/ESK distributions, 140+ transitional shelters completed/advanced, and emergency stock commitments secured. Persistent system-wide challenges include funding shortages, depleted emergency stocks, and climate-related displacement. Urgent recommendations focus on resource mobilization, stock replenishment, and scalable shelter solutions.

KEY ACHIVEMENTS

FIELD UPDATES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

SANA’A HUB: During June, Sanaa Hub coordinated the distribution of 513 NFI kits in Marib’s Majzar District through YGUSSWP’s YHF-funded project, with beneficiary lists rigorously cross-checked to prevent duplication. Technical support advanced transitional shelter project through NAHR for 110 households in Wusab As Safil (Dhamar), where tendering savings were identified to potentially expand coverage to 164 households. The hub actively contributed to RCT meetings advocating for humanitarian policy adjustments amid funding constraints.

ADEN HUB: Aden Hub responded to deteriorating conditions in Al Sha’b 2 IDP site, where NMO and ACTED distributed emergency shelter and NFI kits to 10 families affected by shelter collapses. Technical reviews were completed for GWQ’s shelter maintenance project, and coordination with DEEM progressed for their YHF-funded intervention in Al Dhalee. Despite civil unrest and fuel shortages, partners maintained minimal response capacity through UNHCR-supported logistics.

SA’ADAH HUB: Sa’ada Hub documented and assessed 21 displaced households (20 from tribal conflict in Al-Marashi district, 1 fire-affected), with emergency shelter assistance planned for early July. Partner YARD maintained registration and targeting systems despite severe operational constraints caused by funding cuts, ensuring readiness for imminent response.
