Needs Assessment Displacement Movement in Taiz Governorate Needs Assessment Displacement Movement in Taiz Governorate Introduction Taiz Governorate is one of the 22 governorates of Yemen and it is located in the south west of Yemen. It has an area of 10,677 km2 and a population that reached over 3 million with a density of 230/km2. Taiz city is the governorate's capital, the third largest city in Yemen. Taiz Governorate is divided administratively into 23 districts. Since the fighting broke out in Yemen, Taiz has been one of the most affected governorates with a very high density of IDPs. The conflict which reached the governorate in April,2015 exposed civilians to risk and resulted into massive internal displacement. The first displacement was in April 2015 when fierce fighting broke out inside Taiz city and the adjacent districts: Saber Almawdem and Mashra'a wa Hadnan. Then the conflict has increased rapidly and expanded to new districts including Almesrakh, Haifan, , Samea, Alselw, and Meqbana which witnessed high displacement movement to the nearby safe areas and adjacent districts like Ashamayatain, Almawest, Mawiyah and Sharab. Around 60% of the IDPs fled their villages living with their relatives and/or friends increasing the burden on the hosting community. About 70% of the IDPs settled with hosting communities and 30% at public institutions and in open areas. Recently the escalation of the conflict has increased and reached the coastal districts of Taiz governorate namely, Almukha, Dhubab and Moza'a that are near the red sea. The majority of people living there have been affected by the current conflict and fled to the interior areas as well as the adjacent districts to find a safer place. Furthermore, the most recent displacement was from Tobaishea, a rural area at Gabal Habashi District, where two thirds of the population displaced as a result of the conflict to the adjacent districts Okaka, at Saber Almawdem District and Wadi aldahi at Almothafr District. On the other hand, it has been reported that some of the displaced have returned recently to their home districts where the conflict was over and the security situation started to improve. This assessment intends to shed light on the displacement movement in the various districts of Taiz governorate, providing data base of the displacement movement within the governorate that could be used as a foundation for any future intervention by the national and international organizations concerned. The assessment covers the majority of the governorate districts that witnessed displacement movement either into or out of the district excluding the districts that didn’t witnessed huge displacement or wasn’t the destination of IDPs from other affected districts. The assessment provides updated statistics of IDPs until the date of writing the assessment on March 13,2017. Methodologies The main instrument used for data collection in this assessment is the field visits to the hosting districts and holding direct interviews and discussions with the affected community members including key leaders, family heads and other family members.
