Yemen: a worsening humanitarian crisis with renewed fighting

Since early September 2026, over 130,000 people have been displaced in Yemen due to renewed fighting, especially along the west coast and around Taiz, according to the UN. The humanitarian crisis worsens as displaced populations arrive in overcrowded sites lacking shelter, food, clean water, and healthcare. Witnesses report attacks by the Houthis, including shelling and mortar fire, forcing families to flee their homes under difficult conditions.
