Nuba village, in the desert of Lahj, southern Yemen, suffers from plenty of issues including; the absence of schools, electricity, and drinking water, as well as extreme poverty.

The Nuba residents build their homes with straw and tree trunks, but it does not protect them because of the fluctuations of weather conditions. In addition, women there bear the burden of transporting water and firewood to cook food, while the encroachment of sand on their homes increases their suffering, amid the absence of the most basic services.

The residents of the village, which consist of around 40 families, are indigenous people in the Lahj governorate.

They are not displaced from the areas of war, but due to their refusal to integrate into the nearby urban communities, the successive local authorities did not pay attention to them.

NGOs and international organizations that are occupied with helping displaced people fleeing war zones, also do not aid them.
