Lahij governorate followed Taiz with about 26,400 displaced people, most of them from Al-Mudharabah district, while Aden received 3,570 displaced people. The organization also recorded an increase in the number of displaced people arriving in Abyan, Hadramout and Marib as the fighting expanded.
The organization warned that the needs of displaced families for shelter, non-food items and protection continue to grow. It urged donors to fund the humanitarian response before more families are forced to leave their homes and lose their property.
