  • Inter-Agency Observation Mission: Marib Governorate Mission: 15 January 2015 | Final Report | 27 January 2015
    Inter-Agency Observation Mission: Marib Governorate Mission: 15 January 2015 | Final Report | 27 January 2015 Background In late August 2014, intermittent clashes in Al Jawf Governorate spread to neighbouring Majzar District of Marib Governorate. Fighting occurred between Al Houthi militants, Islah fighters and their tribal affiliates. No major clashes have been reported in Majzar since mid-September, when a tribally-mediated agreement came into force in Al Jawf. As of January 2015, Al Houhi affiliates controlled most of Majzar District, and tensions remained extremely high across Marib Governorate. Early reports estimated that 300 families in Majzar had been displaced by the fighting; by October, these estimates had risen to nearly 1,200 families. Humanitarian partners provided one-off assistance (mainly food and NFIs) to all 1,200 families in October. Mission objectives and locations Humanitarian presence in Marib is extremely limited due to long-standing concerns about Locations observed (15 January) safety, including kidnapping. Marib’s highly complex, tribal social structure also complicates efforts to obtain impartial, verified information. By January, it was unclear how many people remained displaced (and why), and what conditions prevailed in conflict-affected areas. An initiative was taken by The Humanitarian Forum Yemen (THFY) in cooperation with the WASH cluster to coordinate a meeting with the General Authority for Rural Water Supply Projects (GARWP) to discuss the possibilities of conducting a joint assessment to validate the need for WASH interventions. The need for validating the needs in the field was affirmed by other clusters, UN agencies & NGOs as well, who felt that discrepancies in Source: OCHA the existing data, absence of reliable data & lack of access attributed to security issues, are the main impediments to responding effectively to the crisis & helping the people in need in Marib.
