Hostilities have intensified since early September, particularly along the western coast and southern Taiz, causing a doubling of displacement figures in the past two weeks. This follows an initial escalation of conflict in July, which has steadily worsened since late August.

Displaced women and girls are particularly vulnerable, facing heightened health and protection risks. Humanitarian funding remains well below requirements, with a substantial gap in meeting the overall needs.

More than 145,000 people have been displaced due to the recent escalation of hostilities. The increased population movement has led to a rise in humanitarian needs across various sectors.

Specific details on the types of health and protection risks faced by displaced women and girls are not yet covered in recent reporting.
