Approximately 340 thousand people have been displaced since August

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced that approximately 340 thousand people had to leave their homes in Yemen due to the ongoing conflicts and deteriorating security conditions since August.

According to the organization's data, 224 thousand 819 of the displaced people left Taiz, 72 thousand 18 left Lahic and 40 thousand 782 left Hudaydah provinces.

Those displaced from these 3 provinces constituted approximately 99 percent of those who had to leave their homes since August.

IOM Yemen Chief of Mission Abdussettar Esoev emphasized that hundreds of thousands of Yemenis had to leave their homes without knowing where to shelter or how to provide food and clean water to their children.

Pointing out that humanitarian needs are increasing, Esoev emphasized that transportation and access difficulties delay the delivery of basic aid to those in need, and called for urgent support to displaced families.

Conflicts in Yemen

According to the statement of the President of the Yemeni Presidential Council, Rashad al-Alimi, the military operation called "Dawn of Yemen", which was launched in Yemen on October 5, 2026, was stated to aim to take back the state institutions under the control of the Houthis and regain dominance in the capital Sanaa.

The military tension, which started in July, ended the period of relative calm in the country after the ceasefire that came into force in April 2022.

According to United Nations (UN) reports, approximately 12 thousand people died or were injured in the military tension in question.

Conflicts have been continuing in Yemen since the Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and some provinces in September 2014.

The Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia also intervened militarily in the country in March 2015 in support of the Yemeni government, which is recognized by the international community.
