Since 2015, nearly 15 percent of the entire population, 4.3 million people, have been forced to flee their homes; 3.3 million people are still displaced. More than 685,000 people
have been newly displaced in the past year, the majority by fighting in Hodeida and along the western coast. Close to 74 percent of displaced families outside hosting sites are living in rented accommodation; 22 percent are being hosted by families. Nearly 300,000 of the most destitute and vulnerable IDPs are living in 1,228 collective sites; 83 per cent of these sites have no health services, 39 percent report water deficits and 43 percent have no toilets. Nearly one-third of all IDPs live in the 104 districts across the country with the highest convergence of complex, multi-dimensional problems. Islamic Help UK – Yemen Programme works to mitigate the effect of displacement in more than 7 governorates in food security, healthcare services and WaSH.
