Displaced families in Aden camps

Hundreds of families from the governorates of Taiz and Lahj are living in camps in Aden due to the ongoing civil war in Yemen. These families fled their homes because of insecurity and now face challenges in accessing shelter and essential goods.

Conditions in Al-Firdaws camps

In the Ras Imran area of the Al-Buraiqeh district, the Al-Firdaws 1 and Al-Firdaws 2 camps house about 850 tents for displaced families. These camps are among the locations where displaced people are living under difficult conditions.

Humanitarian aid in Salah al-Din

In the Salah al-Din area of the same district, displaced families from Taiz and Lahj have also received humanitarian aid. However, the needs of these displaced communities remain significant and ongoing.

Displacement statistics from IOM

From January 1 to October 24, 2026, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) recorded 49,388 households that experienced at least one displacement. This highlights the scale of movement caused by the conflict.

Houthi offensive and territorial goals

The Houthi rebel group launched a major offensive in September with the aim of capturing large areas of Yemeni territory controlled by the government, including the capital, Sanaa. This offensive has contributed to the mass displacement of people.

Impact of the conflict on Yemeni population

The fighting has caused at least 70,000 people to flee their homes in the early days of the conflict. While a small number found refuge in the neighboring country of Djibouti, the majority of displaced people remain on Yemeni territory.

Multiple fronts for Houthi rebels

The Houthi rebels are not only facing Yemeni government forces but also Saudi Arabia, which has been involved in the conflict on the side of the government. This adds to the complexity and intensity of the ongoing war.
