  • Humanitarian Update
    YEMEN HUMANITARIAN Covering 12 March – 18 March UPDATE 2018 | Issue 7 DIPHTHERIA VACCination CAMPAIGN targetS 2.7 MILLION CHILDREN National and international partners have completed a large-scale vaccination campaign with the aim to control the spread of diphtheria in Yemen. Targeting nearly 2.7 million children aged six weeks to 15 years in 11 governorates, the campaign focused on locations reporting suspected cases of diphtheria and areas at high risk of spread of the infectious respiratory disease. On the west coast where violence has recently escalated, 835,775 children were targeted in Al Hudaydah, Hajjah, Al Mahwit and Raymah governorates. The campaign, supported by WHO and UNICEF, is part of a larger response plan that includes strengthening surveillance and case detection, enhancing laboratory testing capacity, procuring and distributing diphtheria anti-toxins to health facilities, and training and deploying rapid response teams to trace contacts and provide preventive treatment in communities. Health education and awareness campaigns were conducted to teach people how to protect themselves against diphtheria and other infectious diseases. First reported in October 2017, diphtheria has spread rapidly, infecting more than 1,300 people and killing over 70. Almost 80 per cent of the caseload are children and young adults below 25 years of age. The rapid spread of the disease highlights major gaps in routine vaccination coverage in recent years and signifies a collapsing health system where only half of all health facilities are partially or fully functioning. In November and December 2017, WHO and UNICEF vaccinated almost 450,000 children under 7 years of age against diphtheria in Ibb – the worst affected governorate accounting for nearly 35 per cent of all reported cases.

    YEMEN Food Security Outlook October 2019 to May 2020 Large-scale assistance needs and risk of Famine (IPC Phase 5) likely to persist as war nears five years KEY MESSAGES • Ongoing conflict continues to disrupt livelihoods, reduce Current food security outcomes, October 2019 incomes, and drive very poor macroeconomic conditions including significantly high prices of food and non-food commodities. It is estimated that approximately 17 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, representing the largest food insecure population in the world. Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes are widespread. A risk of Famine (IPC Phase 5) persists under a worst-case scenario in which conflict significantly disrupts port operations or cuts off food supply for a prolonged period of time. • Fuel shortages since September have impacted humanitarian operations in Sana’a and other Houthi-controlled areas in northern and central Yemen. This has negatively impacted livelihoods and exacerbated logistical challenges already faced Source: FEWS NET in delivering assistance. Despite these and conflict-related FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. IPC-compatible analysis constraints, humanitarian assistance has scaled-up in 2019, follows key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus driving some food security improvements. Assistance deliveries of national food security partners. are expected to continue during the projection period, though delays and pipeline breaks remain possible. • Conflict and flooding in western areas of Yemen have increased displacements and led to access constraints. In September, increased conflict was observed in Al Hudaydah and Hajjah. In Aden, conflict subsided in September after high levels in August.

  • Situation Report September 2019
    IOM YEMEN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019 Ethiopian migrants waiting to board a bus to participate in IOM's VHR movement from Sana’a to Addis Ababa. ©IOM 2019/ Headon 106,777 364,332 24,647 People reached through People displaced since People reached through medical consultations the start of 2019 protection activities SITUATION OVERVIEW Yemen - already the Arabian Gulf’s most underdeveloped country - has been devastated by over four years of conflict. The United Nations considers the situation in Yemen to be the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with 14 million people at risk of starvation and repeated outbreaks of deadly diseases like cholera. Over 3.6 million people have been displaced from their homes by the crisis and are in need of humanitarian protection and assistance. In September, the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Rapid Displacement Tracking tool (RDT) tracked the displacement of 17,046 people, bringing the total number of people displaced in 2019 to 364,332. As a result of increased fighting, the highest new displacements were recorded in Taizz (6,888 ind), Al Hudaydah (4,410 ind) and Aden (3,199 ind). In addition to conflict, natural hazards like heavy rains and floods continue to affect Yemeni people. Displaced people already living in makeshift shelters are among those worst affected, finding themselves displaced for the second, third or fourth time. IOM supports the most vulnerable groups throughout Yemen, including displaced people, conflict-affected communities and migrants through offices in Sana’a, Aden, Al Hudaydah and Marib and satellite presence in all 22 governorates.

  • Conflict Escalation in Hajjah, Yemen Anticipatory Briefing Note – 14 April 2019
    YEMEN Conflict escalation in Hajjah, Yemen Anticipatory Briefing note – 14 April 2019 Escalation of conflict in Hajjah governorate, particularly in Abs district, risks displacing up to 400,000 people IDPs are likely to move in two directions: 1) South along the Tihama plain into northern Al Hudaydah, an area heavily impacted by the conflict-related displacement 2) To eastern districts of Hajjah, which have the highest cholera rates in the governorate and poor food security. IDPs are likely to present acute needs, exceeding the capacities of the current response. Abs district, in the direct path of the offensive, hosts up to 210,000 IDPs in over 160 settlements. Most have already been displaced multiple times and have acute shelter, WASH, food, and health needs. Conflict in Abs is likely to disrupt vital WASH and health services. Abs hosts the main water source and the district hospital. With the ongoing rainy season, and cholera cases already on the rise, these services are particularly important and should be protected.

  • Militarized Childhood a Report on the Houthis’ Recruitment of Yemeni Children During War
    Militarized Childhood A report on the Houthis’ recruitment of Yemeni children during war Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor SAM for Rights and Liberties February 2021 Contents Introduction 4 Child soldiers recruited by the Houthi group: statistics 7 Strategies used in recruiting children 10 Geographical distribution of children recruited by the Houthis 12 Tasks, punishments, and impacts related to child recruitment 13 Houthis’ child training camps 14 Testimonies of child soldiers recruited by the Houthis 23 Child victims recruited by the Houthis 31 Legal background 32 Recommendations 33 Introduction Child recruitment and use by armed forces is one of the gravest violations that Yemeni children fall victim to as Yemen has been witnessing wars and armed conflicts for several years. This phenomenon emerged in Yemen since the era of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, when the Ministry of Defense started to accept children under the age of 15 years old into their ranks. Tribal sheikhs also sent their children to war to secure their monthly salaries the government paid at the time. However, this phenomenon significantly diminished after pressures imposed on the Saleh regime, especially after Yemen had signed several international child rights agreements. On the other hand, armed groups in Yemen, especially the Houthis, sought Militarizing Childhood 4 to recruit children to reinforce their capabilities. The Houthis have been exploiting child soldiers since they waged a war against the Hajour al-Sham tribes in Hajjah Governorate in early 2012; their war on the Dammaj area in Saada governorate in 2013; and at a greater pace, in 2014, after they seized power in Yemen and the battles expanded.

    PALAIS DES NATIONS • 1211 GENEVA 10, SWITZERLAND Mandate of the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions REFERENCE: AL SAU 10/2018 10 August 2018 Excellency, I have the honour to address you in my capacity as Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 35/15. In this connection, I would like to bring to the attention of your Excellency’s Government information that I have received on a series of airstrikes by Government of Saudi Arabia-led coalition forces carried out since November 2017 in civilian areas in Yemen, including on protected civilian objects, that have caused numerous deaths and serious injuries to civilians, including children . On 9 November 2015, my mandate addressed a similar communication to your Excellency’s Government (AL SAU 9/2015) concerning indiscriminate airstrikes by coalition forces in civilian areas, which lead to deaths and injuries of civilians in Yemen. I regret that thus far no response has been received to that communication and would be grateful for your prompt response. The information which I have received in recent months, and which is indicative and non-exhaustive, highlights the impact of coalition-led attacks on civilians and civilian objects in Yemen over the period November 2017 to June 2018. The allegations may be summarized as follows: On 1 November 2017, two airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition hit the Al Layl market in the area of Olaf, in Sahaar district, Sa’adah province, killing 31 civilians, including six children, and wounding 24 others.

  • Humanitarian and Displacement Situation in Abs District, Hajjah Governorate
    HUMANITARIAN AND DISPLACEMENT SITUATION IN ABS DISTRICT, HAJJAH GOVERNORATE OVERVIEW | 1 APRIL 2021 The current escalation in the fighting in Harad and Abs districts in Hajjah Governate continue to force many Yemenis to abandon their homes and seek safety in nearby areas. It is estimated that during the past two weeks more than 200 families (around 1,200 individuals) have been forcibly displaced and have sought refuge in existing IDP hosting sites in the governorate. Most newly displaced families have settled on sites located in four sub-districts, namely: Bany Thawab, Alwasat, Qutuba and Al-Bitariah in Abs district. Current active frontlines in the affected area DISPLACED POPULATION AND NEEDS Following the new displacements, UNHCR’s partner, Rawabi AL-Nahdah Developmental Foundation (RADF) conducted a Rapid Needs Assessment to evaluate the urgent protection needs of those forcibly displaced. So far, since 15 March, some 679 individuals (97 families) have been assessed. The initial findings show that children and women represent 81% of the displaced population, with 31% of the assessed households (HH) being headed by women. Most newly displaced families have settled in existing IDP sites in Abs district, joining relatives who had been previously displaced. 1 | 4 New arrivals have shown to further increase pressure on scarce services and resources shared by the already vulnerable populations residing on these sites. The lack of health and WASH services, as well as poor shelter conditions and constant shortage of food are increasing the vulnerability of those having found refuge in these informal settlements. Inadequate shelter conditions on sites are forcing male and female family members to live separately in gender segregated areas and in makeshift and crowded shelters, placing a further burden on displaced families.
