Yemen statement from the UN! 'More than 200 thousand people left their homes due to conflicts'

The United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) made a written statement about the situation in Yemen, where there are conflicts between the army and the Houthis.

'MORE THAN 200 THOUSAND PEOPLE LEAVED THEIR HOMES'

"A total of 201 thousand 217 people have been forced to leave their homes since the start of the conflict in Yemen. While this number increases day by day, humanitarian needs also grow at the same rate. The resources required to deliver aid to those most in need are being depleted at an alarming rate," the statement said.

It was noted in the statement that the rate of escalation of the crisis was at alarming levels, and it was emphasized that according to IOM data, in mid-September, the number of displaced people was 76 thousand, and by the end of the month, this figure exceeded 145 thousand and today it exceeded 200 thousand.

'NO SAFE PLACE TO SHELTER'

IOM Director General Amy Pope, whose views were included in the statement, said, "People are running away to save their lives, but they cannot find a safe place to shelter. They need shelter, food and security today. Our teams are on the field, but the necessary funding is not available. I call on donors to take immediate action."

'IT SHOULD NOT TURN INTO A FORGOTTEN CRISIS'

Emphasizing that every day of delay leads to loss of life, Pope said:

"Yemen should not turn into a forgotten crisis. The world has the means to help, and these opportunities should be used immediately."
