    YEMEN: Al Hudaydah Update Situation Report No. 7 Reporting period: 27 June - 4 July 2018 This report is produced by OCHA in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It is issued by the OCHA Yemen office. The next report will be issued when additional information on the emergency becomes available. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Multiple airstrikes were reported in Al Hudaydah City and Zabid City after days of relative decrease in airstrikes. • Displacement from Al Hudaydah Governorate continues; humanitarian partners have verified more than 17,350 households (over 121,000 people) being displaced since 1 June. • More than 10,000 displaced households (nearly 80,000 people) have been assisted with food, emergency kits and other life-saving support. • Pre-positioning of emergency stocks continues and major efforts are being made to prevent an escalation of cholera. II. Situation Overview After days of relative calm, multiple airstrikes were reported in several locations in Al Hudaydah City near the airport as well as the Sana’a – Al Hudaydah road. Intensive airstrikes were also reported on 4 July in the southern Zaid District. Humanitarian partners are present in Al Hudaydah, and convoys enter and exit the city without too much difficulties. However, many roads within the city remain blocked to civilian traffic and accessing many parts of the city requires negotiations and deconfliction. The pace of displacement from Al Hudaydah Governorate has slowed down, but some families that can afford public transport or own vehicles continue to leave Al Hudaydah City and other frontline districts to seek shelter in safer areas, including in the capital, Sana’a.
