Between August 1 and October 17, over 250,000 people were newly displaced within Yemen, with Taiz governorate hosting the largest share. Conflict-related displacement between August 1 and October 14 alone accounted for 231,991 individuals. UNHCR is actively participating in the inter-agency response under the Yemen Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan.

The ongoing escalation of hostilities, particularly in the West Coast, is a primary driver of new displacement, placing significant pressure on host communities and humanitarian resources. Funding for the humanitarian response remains well below requirements.

The continued displacement of hundreds of thousands of people exacerbates existing humanitarian needs, particularly for shelter, protection, and access to essential services for the affected population.

Specific details on the humanitarian needs of refugees and the impact of climate change on displacement are not yet covered in recent reporting.
