The Bitter Cold of Winter Exacerbates the Agony of Displaced Families in Yemen

In the war-ravaged region, Houthi militias’ battles in Haradh city drove many families into fleeing to informal camps. Displaced families clarified that their agony in winter is unimaginable, with the absence of blankets and clothes, not to mention the scarcity of food. For international organizations in Yemen, the winter season is a relentless challenge, especially after many UN offices were shut down following shortfalls in funding. Furthermore, amid dire humanitarian conditions and struggle for life, the number of refugees is on the rise.
