Yemen Situation Update (19 July 2015) Yemen Situation Update (19 July 2015) Situation Overview The Logistics Cluster was activated in Yemen in May 2010 and since escalation in March 2015, operations have rapidly scaled up. A system-wide Level 3 Emergency was declared on 1 July 2015 in response to the humanitarian needs of 21 million. As of 19 July ground conflict and airstrikes continue across Yemen despite the announced ceasefire. Limited access is impeding humanitarian response operations in Yemen. The following access limitations have been reported: Airports Only two airports in Yemen, Sana’a and Seiyun airports, are reported open and operating international flights. UNHAS, Yemeni Airways, ICRC, Medicines Sans Frontiers (MSF) are operating flights into Sana’a. Ports Five ports were partially operational this week: Hodeidah, Aden, Mokah, Al-Salif and Al Mukalla port, with the security and access limitations hindering onward land transportation of discharged cargo. o At Hodeidah port, an average offload delay of 11 days is reported, with six berths operational. Congestion and slower operations is reported due to reduced working hours and lack of fuel, with one hour of power being reported per day for port facilities and cargo handling equipment (1-2 cranes in operation). The closure of other ports increased the number of vessels calling at Hodeidah port. The maximum draft is 9.75 m. o Access to Aden port and the Aden oil refinery port continues to be limited. o Mokah port is operating at 20 percent and capable of receiving small vessels, with two berths operational and a maximum allowable draft of 8 m. Due to the security situation, limited options exist for onward transport of cargo. o Al-Salif port is accessible, with a maximum allowable draft of seven metres and is being used by commercial vessels, primarily for grain imports. The port is experiencing delays of vessel unloading due to fuel shortages and lack of power. o Al Mukalla port is functional but access is limited due to the security situation. Detailed logistics capacity assessments are available at: http://dlca.logcluster.org/display/DLCA/Yemen. Roads Overland transport in Yemen is limited by access and security constraints: o The road from Hodeidah to Sana’a and Hodeidah to Ta’izz, as well as from Sana’a to Sa’ada and from Sana’a to Ta’izz are reported as accessible. o The road from Ta’izz is reported as difficult to access. o Roads in and around Aden continue to be either inaccessible or difficult to access due to infrastructure damage and the security situation. Common Services and Cargo tracking www.logcluster.org/ops/yem10 Yemen Situation Update (19 July 2015) Since May 2015, the Logistics Cluster transported 1.048 m³ of interagency cargo on behalf of IMC, UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, WHO, ACF, UNHCR, WFP by sea and air to Yemen. 88 m³ of humanitarian cargo is in the process of being transported from Djibouti to Yemen on behalf of IMC and ACF on the MV Drive Mahone. Yemen Overland transport Convoy movement in Yemen is increasing with OCHA facilitating the de-confliction. Organisations can request the de-confliction 48 hours in advance and request overland transport service facilitation by the Logistics Cluster. Air Transport UNHAS – Passenger Transport Due to changed clearance procedures, the UNHAS flight, scheduled for 16 July did not take place and was postponed to 17 July. To subscribe to the UNHAS mailing list, email [email protected]. Further information on UNHAS services is available: o UNHAS flight schedule: http://www.logcluster.org/document/unhas-yemen-flight-schedule-31-may-2015 o UNHAS passenger booking form: http://www.logcluster.org/document/yemen-passenger-movement- request-form. Sea Transport The MV Drive Mahone, dedicated to transport inter-agency cargo, berthed in Djibouti port on 16 July and was loaded with 9 containers of humanitarian cargo for ACF and IMC. The vessel is awaiting clearances and scheduled to depart to Hodeidah port on 17 July. Upon return, the vessel will transport empty containers to Djibouti, in order to make seaworthy bulk cargo, in- transit to Yemen. The MV Drive Mahone and the MV Amsterdam are scheduled to load inter-agency cargo, based on submitted SRFs. o The MV Drive Mahone has the capacity to transport 21 passengers and up to 1,250 mt from Djibouti to Hodeidah. o The MV Amsterdam is scheduled to load cargo in Djibouti for Mokha with cargo for Bender Djedid and food for WFP. As of 16 July, it is at anchor in Djibouti, pending final confirmation to depart. The vessel has a capacity of 7,200 mt Requests for sea transport should be sent to [email protected]. Logistics Hubs and Storage Djibouti 631 m³ of humanitarian cargo is currently in storage in the Djibouti warehouse, on behalf of UNICEF and UNFPA. Additional requests from UNHCR, UNICEF, MSF-Spain, UNFPA, IMC, ICRC and WHO have been received for the storage and transport and will be serviced, upon the cargo arriving in Djibouti. www.logcluster.org/ops/yem10 Yemen Situation Update (19 July 2015) A 1,650 m2 storage capacity is available in the customs-bonded warehouse in Djibouti and 640 m2 storage capacity is available at Djibouti airport. Temperature controlled storage can be made available in Djibouti in the free zone, upon request. However, access is pending an accepted Service Request Form (SRF) and on the space availability. Yemen Temporary storage with a storage capacity of 320 m2 is available in Sana’a through the Logistics Cluster, for the humanitarian community. To request services, facilitated by the Logistics Cluster, submission of a Service Request Form (SRF) (http://logcluster.org/document/service-request-srf) is required to [email protected]. Further information on services and procedures is available: o How to Access Services: http://www.logcluster.org/document/how-to-access-yemen-logistics-services o Standard Operating Procedures: http://www.logcluster.org/document/Yemen-SOPs o Transit Customs Snapshot: http://www.logcluster.org/document/djibouti-transit-customs-snapshot. Fuel Provision Yemen depends heavily on imported fuel for all domestic needs. Since the escalation of the conflict in March 2015, all domestic oil refining is reported to have been halted. The absence of domestic refining combined with the severe drop in imports results in an acute fuel shortage, and lack of fuel is a major constraint on humanitarian operations. The Logistics Cluster has facilitated the import of 1,600,000 litres of fuel in three consignments since May 2015, which has been allocated to 61 humanitarian organisations. The allocation plan for the third consignment is awaiting the final approval before the physical release of the fuel from the warehouse will be facilitated by the Logistics Cluster. Organisations will be informed on the latest status and fuel location during the Coordination Meetings in Sana’a and Djibouti on 20 July. 1,000,000 litres of fuel in drums was offloaded at Hodeidah port on 23 June. Pending security clearances and access, 144,000 litres of diesel and 800,000 litres of petrol reached Sana’a on 19 July, facilitated by the Logistics Cluster. The fuel in Sana’a and Hodeidah will be distributed to partners according to the allocation plan. The MV Copenhagen is still at Hodeidah port, pending clearance for the transportation of 500,000 litres of fuel to Aden port. Once discharged, the fuel will be distributed according to the allocation plan. Coordination/Information Management/GIS The Logistics Cluster Concept of Operations has been updated and shared on the website: http://www.logcluster.org/document/concept-operations-yemen-10-july-2015. Logistics Cluster Coordination Cells are in place in Sana’a and Djibouti, with regular coordination meetings taking place. The next meetings in Djibouti and Sana’a are scheduled for 20 July. The location and agenda is available on the dedicated operations page at: www.logcluster.org/ops/yem10. Information Management, Operation and Cargo Tracking Officers are currently based in Sana’a and Djibouti. 71 Information Management products were published since April 2015 on the Yemen operations page, available at www.logcluster.org/ops/yem10 and via a dedicated mailing list. www.logcluster.org/ops/yem10 Yemen Situation Update (19 July 2015) Other Logistics Gaps or Bottlenecks In order to maximise use of logistics resources, receiving information on planning, pipeline and supply chains is critical.

These achievements were undertaken in a challenging and complex operational environment marked by critical levels of insecurity, access restrictions to areas under active conflict, administrative impediments such as limited availability of slots for international staff (for security-related reasons), and difficulties in obtaining visas from the de-facto authorities in Sana'a.
