Phase 2: Emergency Response for IDPs and Conflict-Affected Communities in Yemen AID-OFDA-G-16-00020 Quarterly Report: July 1, 2017 – September 30, 2017 Country Contact: Headquarters Contact: Project Summary: Award Number AID-OFDA-G-16-00020 Start Date: March 24, 2016 End Date: September 23, 2017 Report Date: October 30, 2017 Total Award: $5,000,000 Quarterly Situation and Program Overview: The security situation has not improved in Yemen during the period under review. The country continued to witness airstrikes and ground fighting, which posed challenges to implementation. The cholera outbreak across the country, coupled with severe food insecurity and malnutrition, continued to be a pressing issue for the humanitarian community. Additionally, the two years of conflict, compounded by an economic decline, have devastated livelihoods, depleted safety nets, and weakened social service delivery, all of which affected people’s ability to access services. In Sana’a, airstrikes continued periodically during the reporting period, along with continued ground fighting and shelling. In Taiz, the security situation has not improved. Ground fighting between different frontlines continued, though there was no major advance by either side. Access in and out of the enclave remains a challenge, with many areas cordoned off. Additionally, securing travel permits to move in and out of the enclave remains an on-going challenge. Although the political situation in the South remain volatile, Aden was relatively quiet during the last quarter. Nonetheless, a few incidents demonstrated a familiar pattern: armed crime, unexplained violent incidents apparently resulting from intra-Aden tensions, and armed clashes between security forces and others. In the neighboring governorates, the Al-Queda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) militants continued their campaign against the security belt forces, particularly in Abyan governorate. The group has also targeted UAE-backed security forces across the south in the past month. Further military reinforcements have been deployed to the governorate, but so far this has failed to curtail AQAP’s activities. In response, the US-led counter-terrorism strikes increased in Abyan. The reopening of parliament in Aden was the latest move made by President Hadi as they strive for influence in the city and across the south. However, his firing of several governors, including the Governor of Aden, has back-fired resulting in the formation of the Southern Transitional Political Council (SPTC). Several rallies were staged in Aden, led by the SPTC. Since then, the Hadi administration has been engaged in a power struggle with the SPTC as they attempt to build support bases in the city and across the south. In addition, there is a divide between UAE-backed groups and forces loyal to President Hadi. A host of other local, political, economic, military, sectarian, and criminal loyalties also divide actors in Aden and across the broader south. This makes the situation in Aden liable to destabilization with political dynamics causing instability and a range of semi-autonomous armed groups with differing and shifting loyalties. On September 25, 2017, another batch of Russian-printed Riyals was flown into Aden. The money is expected to be used to pay public-sector salaries. The Central Bank in Aden also announced that it is connected to SWIFT, the global financial communication network. However, the bank has still a long way to go before it can provide the essential functions of a central bank. Despite these latest positive developments and the repeatedly promises to deliver long-awaited salaries, the government has largely failed to deliver. In Sana’a and Al Mahwit, programming centered on complementary WASH interventions, such the cash transfer program which has channeled USD $300,000 through money transfer agents to the most vulnerable households in Bani Sa’ad district of Al-Mahwit governorate. Activities were determined in close consultation with local authorities, community committees, and supported by Mercy Corps’ Community Mobilizer and field monitoring staff. Where no such committees existed, Mercy Corps established them, ensuring that they were inclusive of both men and women. Mercy Corps maintained positive feedback and acceptance through this approach, as members felt a sense of ownership over the projects being implemented in their areas. Committees also helped to monitor the process of disbursement of the cash assistance and the post distribution monitoring surveys. Activities in the South this reporting period were focused on completing the livelihood and new livelihood activities with disbursement of grants to beneficiaries completed. Monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) activities including post distribution monitoring (PDM) and participatory impact assessment (PIA, end line survey, data analysis), were conducted. Beneficiary satisfaction surveys for WASH projects were also conducted to determine the satisfaction level of the target MERCY CORPS AID-OFDA-G-16-00020: Yemen Quarterly Report #6 July-September Page 2 communities on the recently completed WASH projects. As a result, two WASH community projects were re-assessed and fixed to address the beneficiary concerns over the project.

  • 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).

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.

  • Picking up the Pieces: What Yemenis Need to Rebuild Their Lives in A
    OXFAM BRIEFING PAPER SEPTEMBER 2016 Marriam travels from Sabir Mount to the city centre to sell bread as most of the city’s bakeries have closed. She is the sole provider for her grandchildren. Photo credit: Abdulnasser Al-Sedek/ Oxfam PICKING UP THE PIECES What Yemenis need to rebuild their lives in a country torn apart by conflict EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01 HRS GMT 21 SEPTEMBER 2016 Over three million Yemenis have fled their homes because of ongoing conflict. Many are unable to return. Facing unemployment, mounting debt and high food prices, they are running out of ways to survive. Men are joining armed groups; girls are increasingly forced into marriage, while crime and social unrest are on the rise. As hope for successful peace talks fades, life for millions of Yemenis is deteriorating fast – undermining the chances of securing peace. www.oxfam.org SUMMARY ‘Nobody can know what it feels like to be a displaced person, except those who were forced to leave their homes in search of safety.’ – Jamal, a father of two young children who resides with his family in a small tent in a camp in Al- Quba village, Taiz governorate. When Oxfam spoke to more than 1000 people living in the midst of Yemen’s conflict, almost everyone wanted the very basics every human being desires – to live in peace, at home, with an income that meets the needs of their family. But 18 months of war has created a country in crisis. The economy has been shattered, with one in four companies now closed and 70 percent of the workforce laid off.1 Violent clashes and deadly air strikes have killed and injured thousands of men, women and children and forced over three million people from their homes.
