Yemen: Families struggle to survive in displacement camps in Aden

In Aden, hundreds of displaced families from the Taiz and Lahj governorates are living in difficult conditions and continue to need humanitarian aid. The Al-Firdaws 1 and 2 camps in Ras Imran have about 850 tents, while displaced families in Salah al-Din have also received assistance. The International Organization for Migration recorded 49,388 households experiencing at least one displacement between January 1 and October 24, 2026.

The vote is widely seen as a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks and the wars that followed. Pollster Mitchell Barak said high turnout could benefit incumbent parties, while officials reported long queues at several polling stations despite rain and strong winds.
