Story summary

For over a decade, Yemen has endured one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. The recent escalation in fighting between the government forces and the Houthis has led to the displacement of more than 200,000 people in just five weeks, according to the United Nations migration agency. This rapid increase in displaced individuals is causing significant alarm among aid organizations operating in Yemen. Despite these challenges, it remains unclear how much worse the situation can deteriorate and whether humanitarian aid can effectively reach those in need amidst the ongoing conflict.
