UN Warns: 35,000 Yemeni Households Displaced in Al-Hudaydah

Once again, the UN raises its concerns of the tragic situation in Yemen without taking any action in face of the Saudi aggressions’ brutality.

“Around 35,000 families have been displaced from Yemen’s coastal city of Al-Hudaydah,” according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA].

“As of 13 July, approximately 35,000 displaced households have been verified, and 20,000 of them have received RRM assistance,” OCHA said in a statement on Monday.

OCHA said intense artillery shelling and airstrikes in Al Tuhayata and Zabid districts in Al-Hudaydah continue to trigger displacement and disrupt access to basic services.

According to the UN office, Al-Hudaydah city is relatively calm following an announced pause in military operations by the Saudi-led coalition.

“More civilians are moving within the city compared to previous weeks; shops and bakeries have reopened and water supply has improved following repairs to the main water pipeline,” it said. "However, roads leading to airport, sea port and the Sanaa–Al Hudaydah road remain blocked by sand and concrete barriers."

Impoverished Yemen has been under attack since 2015.

The coalition of aggressors has, however, failed to make any major gains in the face of stiff resistance from Ansarullah revolutionaries and their allied forces.
