People are left with need to the most basic necessities of life. The violence gripped most of the districts in Taizz governorate and extensively damaged the infrastructure. Since January 7, 2017 intensive, violent airstrike by the Saudi led Collation as well as armed confrontation is running in Al Mukha coastal district leaving people in deadly life circumstances. Dhubab, the nearest district to Al Mukha, was previously targeted and dramatically affected by the conflict which led to the fled of people to safer areas. Then the neighboring district of Mawza become the host place for IDPs from Dhubab and Al Mukha districts. Currently, the three districts are in the midst of an acute humanitarian crisis. Consequently, Relief and Development Peer Foundation (RDP) and Tamdeen Youth Foundation (TYF) have conducted needs assessment that aims at determining the current situation for IDPs and the affected host communities in Al Mukha, Dhubab and Mawza districts and identifying their needs. For accuracy and verification purposes various tools have been used to conduct this assessment such as questionnaires, interviews, FGDs and HHs survey. The findings of the assessment provide the necessary information to decide the proper and needed intervention areas. Shelter, food, water and sanitation hygiene , health are of urgent needs. Below are the main findings of this assessment: - Mawza’a hosted the largest percentage of IDPs coming from Al Mukha, while lower numbers of IDPs headed to Khawkha and Hays districts in Hodeidah. 4 - 70% of Dhubab population had fled due to the escalation since the beginning of January 2017. However, during the last two weeks 28% of which have returned home in Wahija, Al Jadeed and Al-Kadaha. - 21,500 of Al Mukha population had fled due to the escalation of the conflict since mid of January, 2017. - 41,000 are trapped in Al-Mashaleeha, Al-Zahari and Al Mukha areas as roads are closed, even if roads are opened the majority of people are suffering from poverty and lost their means of livelihoods and they don’t have the cost of transportation to move to other safer places. People are suffering from the lack of drinking water, shelter food, and medicines. - The highest rate of displacement was from Dhubab where 98% of the population fled to relatively neighboring other safer areas. - Nearly 2100 IDPs fled from Al Mukha to Mawza district since January, 2017. - Thousands of IDPs from Dhubab had been forced to leave their homes and live out in open spaces as they cannot afford the transportation and other displacement needs costs. Based on these critical findings, it is recommended to: 1. A ceasefire by the conflict parties to protect the lives of civilians trapped in the conflict areas in Al Mukha and the deliver the humanitarian needs to affected population either IDPs or host communities. 2. Provision of emergency WASH, Food and health assistances to people in Al Mukha. 3. Provision of food items for the returnee HHs in Wahija, Aljadeed and Al-Kadaha in Dhubab district as well as for the IDPs and host communities in Al Mandab and Mawza 5 4. Coordination of integrated interventions for IDPs and affected host communities in Al Mukha, Mawza and Dhubab especially for IDPs living in the open spaces (provision of Shelter kit, food items, safe water and medical assistances). 5. Provision of fuel to the local water corporation in Al Mukha district to operate the water project as well as the fuel necessary for water pumps in Al Mandab and Mawza. 6. Support health centers for provision health and nutrition services. 7. Coordination with conflict parties to for medical evacuation for wounded, injured and the critical cases among civilians. 8. Launch an appeal for provision of humanitarian aid to the coastal areas in Taiz governorate. 6 Introduction The 2014 Human Development Index shows that Yemen ranks 160 out of 187 countries with a score of 0.4981. Yemen has been exposed to a number of internal and external conflicts. The latest conflict was escalated since two years resulting in a catastrophic humanitarian situation where millions of Yemenis are in acute need of humanitarian aid. Displacement is estimated to be 2,007,2162 IDPs. Taizz was among the most affected governorates in Yemen with a very high density of IDPs. The Governorate is divided into 23 districts. This needs assessment will focus on 3 of them which are Al Mukha, Dhubab and Mozaa. Al Mukha has a distance of 1568.5 km2 with a population of approximately 91000 inhabitants, the district is divided into 4 sub- districts, Al Mukha, Aljumea, Almushalaha and Alizhari. Dhubab has a distance of 1556.6 Km2 with a population of approximately 23,152 inhabitants. Bani Alhakm and Miyun Island are Dhubab’s two sub-district. Mozaa has a distance of 684.2 Km2 with a population of approximately 39000 inhabitants and Mawza, Alahmwl, Aleawashiqa and Al'atima are the four sub districts of Mawza. The sources of income of people living in these districts are fishing, business related activities to Mukha port, agriculture, livestock, and handicrafts. 1 latest UNDP Human Development Index 2014 2 Task Force on Population Movement 12th Report 7 Taizz Governorate Map Shara’b As Salam Shara’b Ar Rawnah At Ta’iziyah Maqbanah Al Qahirah Al MudhaffarSalh Mawiyah Sabir Al Mawadim Sabir Al Mawadim Mashra’a Wa HadnanAl Misrakh Al Mukha Mawza Jabal Habashy Al Misrakh Dimnat Khadir Sama Al Ma’afer As Silw Al Mawasit Hayfan Ash Shamayatayn Al Wazi’iyah Dhubab 8 The escalation of the conflict has increased rapidly in the southern areas of Dhubab district in Taiz since more than a year. Then it has been expanded to the coastal areas of Al Mukha and Mozaa districts that are near the red sea. The majority of people have been affected by the current conflict, People fled from their homes to the interior areas to find a safer place. The majority of Al Mukha and Dhubab population are suffering from poverty and difficult economic situation as a result of high displacement movement. The expansion of battle roadmap in new areas in Al Mukha and Dhubab districts led to humanitarian crisis and destruction of the infrastructure, thousands of civilians almost were trapped due to the clashes along these coastal areas. 9 CONFLICT ESCALATION Dhubab District The first displacement movement from the district was on March 31, 2015 when Miyun Island has been targeted by the coalition airstrikes. In October 2015, the coalition controlled Bab Al- Mandab area from Aden governorate side and moved forward to Dhubab district. As a result of the escalation, the district and its neighboring areas turned into military areas and depopulated. On January 7, 2017, the coalition forces launched a large-scale military operation to control Dhubab district. The conflict expanded along the north coastline towards Al- sameen, Aljadeed, Alkadahah and wahajah areas which forced the residents of these areas to leave their homes and fled to relatives and friends’ houses while others were forced to stay in open spaces and Farms in Mandab and Mawza and other areas. 10 The following table shows the IDPs movement in and out of Dhubab district: Number Displace Total of IDPs d out of Destination of Returnee Area population in the the displacement s district district Al-Mandab, Mawza’a, Aden, Dhubab 7,800 - 7,800 Hodeidah, Taiz - Mawza’a, Hodeidah, Wahijah 2,792 - 2,792 Al-Khaboot 2,000 Mawza’a , Hodeidah, Al-Kadaha 3,860 - 3,860 Al-khaboot, Al-Jaheli 3,000 Mawza’a , Taiz, Al- Al-Jadeed 2,100 - 2,100 khaboot, Al-Jaheli 1,500 Al-Doosh 2,100 - 1,800 Mawza’a - Al-khaboor, Al- Al-Hareekiah 1,700 - 1,700 Manda - Al-mandab 2,800 5200 - - Total 23,152 5,200 20,052 6,500 11 Al Mukha District On March 29, 2015, air defense camp had been targeted in the eastern areas of Al Mukha for the first time, no losses among the civilians

  • How the Ongoing Crisis in Taiz Governorate Continues to Put Civilians at Risk
    A crisis with no end in sight How the ongoing crisis in Taiz Governorate continues to put civilians at risk www.oxfam.org OXFAM BRIEFING NOTE – DECEMBER 2020 Despite a UN-brokered peace agreement in December 2018, the conflict in Yemen has run into its sixth year. In Taiz Governorate, civilians continue to bear the brunt of conflict. Every day, they face death or injury from indiscriminate attacks, gender- based violence in their homes and poor access to food, water and medical care. As people’s resources are further exhausted, their safety, security and well-being are only likely to worsen. The COVID-19 pandemic has added an additional layer to the ongoing crisis. The people of Taiz – and across Yemen as a whole – desperately need a lasting and inclusive peace process to end the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. © Oxfam International December 2020 This paper was written by Abdulwasea Mohammed, with support from Hannah Cooper.

  • Parasitological and Biochemical Studies on Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Shara'b District, Taiz, Yemen
    Asmaa et al. Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob (2017) 16:47 DOI 10.1186/s12941-017-0224-y Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials RESEARCH Open Access Parasitological and biochemical studies on cutaneous leishmaniasis in Shara’b District, Taiz, Yemen Qhtan Asmaa1, Salwa AL‑Shamerii2, Mohammed Al‑Tag3, Adam AL‑Shamerii4, Yiping Li1* and Bashir H. Osman5 Abstract Background: The leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by intracellular haemofagellate protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Leishmaniasis has diverse clinical manifestations; cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most com‑ mon form of leishmaniasis which is responsible for 60% of disability-adjusted life years. CL is endemic in Yemen. In Shara’b there is no reference study available to identify the prevalence of endemic diseases and no investigation has been conducted for diagnosing the diseases. Methods: This study was conducted in villages for CL which collected randomly. The study aimed at investigating the epidemiological factors of CL in Shara’b by using questioner. Symptoms of lesions in patients sufering from CL, confrmed by laboratory tests, gave a new evidence of biochemical diagnosis in 525 villagers aged between 1 and 60 years old. Venous bloods were collected from 99 patients as well as from 51 control after an overnight fast. Results: The percentage prevalence of CL was found 18.8%. The prevalence rate of infection among males (19.3%) was higher than females (18.40%). Younger age group (1–15) had a higher prevalence rate (20.3%) than the other age groups. Furthermore, the population with no formal education had the higher rate of infection (61% of the total).

  • Resolving Displacement Essential for Long- Term Peace and Stability
    18 September 2014 Yemen Resolving displacement essential for long- term peace and stability Intermittent armed conflict and violence have mainly taken place on three fronts in Yemen in recent years. The Shia al-Houthi movement has led a violent insurgency in the north, there has been civil unrest in central and southern regions, and government forces have clashed in the south with militants associated with the Southern Separatist Movement and Ansar al-Sharia, an offshoot of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The fighting has caused ongoing and often repeated internal displace- ment, which has taken place in the context of Internally displaced boys living in Al Madab settlement, Hajja, Yemen, fetch water a growing socio-economic and humanitarian from a well while using a donkey to transport the water to their home 100km away. crisis.

As of July 2014, there were 334,626 internally displaced people (IDPs) registered by the government’s Executive Unit and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), most of whom had fled conflict and violence. Disasters including flash floods and drought have also caused displacement, but there are few reliable estimates of its scale. IDPs and their host communities face many protection risks, including threats to their physical security and a lack of access to adequate shelter and basic services. Food insecurity and malnutrition rates are also particularly high among displaced communities, and IDPs face a heightened risk of serious human rights abuses.

  • Geological and Structural Evolution of the Sharab Area, Southwest Yemen Abdul-Hamid Malek, Fuad Bagash, Abdul-Aleam Ahmed Al-Qadhi
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 12, Issue 4, April-2021 InternationalISSN 2229-5518 Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 8, Issue 1, January-2017 224 ISSN 2229-5518 Geological and Structural Evolution of the Sharab area, Southwest Yemen Abdul-Hamid Malek, Fuad Bagash, Abdul-Aleam Ahmed Al-Qadhi Abstract— This paper presents the first attempt to give insight background on the lithological units and their structural evolution in the Sharab area of Yemen, based on the field work, satellite image analysis and available secondary data sources. Accordingly, geological map is constructed. Lithologically, the Sharab area is occupied by a few thousand meters thick of Precambrian basement rocks overlain by thick Mesozoic marine sediments (limestone and shale) and clastic sediments (sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and conglomerate). The Precambrian basement and Mesozoic sediments are coated by huge amounts of Tertiary basalts intercalated with acidic and volcaniclastic strata and injected by several types of igneous dykes, sills and plugs. Structurally, the study area is affected by six phases of deformations (D1-D6) took place in three stages; during the Precambrian (D1: D4), through Mesozoic (D5) and in the Cenozoic (D6). D1 of the Precambrian is characterized by penetrative linear foliation (S1), lineation (L1) and isoclinal, intrafolial folds (F1), while D2, D3 and D4 are characterized by a series of major and minor anticline and syncline folds (F2), ductile left-lateral shear zones, and right lateral ductile-brittle shear zones respectively. D5 generated during Mesozoic is represented by the obviously observed folds in the Jurassic limestone. The latest phase of deformation (D6) in Cenozoic is characterized by horizontal extension and vertical thinning, which led to wide fragmentation by E-W, NE- SW, WNW-ESE and NW-SE conjugate system of high-angle brittle normal faults and several distinctive horsts and grabens.
