June 2025 presented extreme operational challenges including record-high temperatures triggering fires in Yemen’s Imternal Displaced Persons’ (IDP) sites in Marib governorate, civil unrest over economic collapse in Aden/Lahj governorates, and severe funding cuts crippling responses in Sa’ada governorate and West Coast of the country, according to the June report of update by Health Clusters.
Persistent system-wide challenges include funding shortages, depleted emergency stocks, and climate-related displacement. Urgent recommendations focus on resource mobilization, stock replenishment, and scalable shelter solutions.
During June, Sanaa Hub coordinated the distribution of 513 None-Food Item (NFI) kits in Marib’s Majzar District, with beneficiary lists rigorously cross-checked to prevent duplication. Technical support advanced transitional shelter project through for 110 households in Wusab As Safil (Dhamar), where tendering savings were identified to potentially expand coverage to 164 households.
Aden Hub responded to deteriorating conditions in Al Sha’b 2 IDP site, where shelter and NFI kits were distributed to 10 families affected by shelter collapses.
Sa’ada Hub documented and assessed 21 displaced households (20 from tribal conflict in Al-Marashi district, 1 fire-affected), with emergency shelter assistance planned for early July.
Partner YARD maintained registration and targeting systems despite severe operational constraints caused by funding cuts, ensuring readiness for imminent response.
