The United Nations International Organization for Migration said on Thursday that 80% of Yemen's displaced people live in harsh living conditions, in one of the largest displacement crises in the world.

The organization said, in a press statement, that “Yemen is suffering from one of the largest displacement crises in the world, as there are more than 4.5 million people currently displaced.”

The statement added, "Among these displaced people, women and children constitute about 80%, and they suffer from harsh living conditions, as they live in overcrowded shelters where basic services are limited, with dwindling means of livelihood."

The lack of safe community spaces exacerbates these challenges, leaving many people isolated and vulnerable.

The organization announced, according to the statement, that it had “recently built a new center for women in Dar Al-Jamaa, in Dhu Al-Safal District in Ibb Governorate, as part of a broad initiative it launched to create safe spaces in various parts of the country, with the aim of addressing the urgent needs of displaced communities that were severely affected by Conflict and instability.”

The statement stated that “the new center will serve as a station for women’s participation in social activities and access to basic services, providing a safe haven and a source of support for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.”

It is noteworthy that the International Organization for Migration currently runs 23 community centres, including spaces designated for women, in the governorates of Ibb, Taiz, Ma’rib and the Western Coast, from which more than 66 thousand people benefit.
