Yemen, a country in crisis (a massive flood hit the city of Ma'rib and damaged 13 IDP camps)

The on-going conflict has negatively impacted access to food for millions of vulnerable people. Supply of essential food commodities has been limited, leading to a rise in the prices of basic commodities. In addition to that, a decline in purchasing power linked to the devaluation of the Yemeni Riyal. Inadequate nutrition coupled with limited access to clean water and sanitation and healthcare services can lead to increased morbidity, especially of children.

This is further complicated by the floods that hit the governorate of Ma'rib which has witnessed continuous heavy rains during the past few days, sending more than 20 people to death and causing widespread and severe damage to the city and affected large parts of the IDP camps, and the districts of the city, Al-Wadi, Sarwah, Medghal, Raghwan, and Rahaba ' and Harib. The damages varied between demolishing homes and damage to shelters, food, water and environmental sanitation. Now the situation is very difficult and large number of IDPs camps are severely affected making a number of 4871 families homeless and with no shelter or food support. The victims of this ongoing flood across the country are immensely suffering from shortage of food as there is acute shortage of sufficient relief material provided to them in between this corona virus pandemic.
