As torrential rains since early August have continuously submerged homes and displacement camps across Yemeni provinces, affected residents are voicing despair over compounded losses in a country struggling with one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, reported Xinhua. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Wednesday that heavy rains and floods have affected tens of thousands in Yemen since April, with over 100 killed or injured. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported Thursday that more than 46,500 people have been affected across 73 displacement sites in the country since early August. Provinces including Ibb, Sanaa, Marib, Hodeidah, and Taiz were particularly hard hit, with extensive damage to homes, farmland and infrastructure. According to government figures released in recent hours, flooding in Marib killed three people and injured two others after waters swept through local displacement camps. Nearly 2,944 families in these camps suffered damage during August, with 464 families losing almost all possessions, showed the figures. Last week, the entire villages in Hays district, Hodeidah were washed away, leaving more than 1,200 families without shelter, local authorities said, adding that on Tuesday alone, the rains and floods killed dozens of livestock, severely damaged critical infrastructure, and hampered rescue operations in Hodeidah. "We lost everything in a matter of hours," Ahmed Yamani, a resident of Hays district, told Xinhua. "The water came so fast. We barely escaped with our lives. Our house, our livestock, everything we worked for is gone," Yamani said. "The floods came without warning," Fatima Hadhrami, a displaced mother of four in Marib, highlighted the precarious conditions in camps for internally-displaced persons. "We are living in tents that offer no protection. Our children were terrified when the rains started," she said. "We thought we had found safety here, but now the floods have reached us too," said Nasser Kahalf, another displaced man in Marib. "Where can we go now? We have been moving from place to place for years." "The well water we used to drink is now dirty and unsafe," said Mohammad Salehi, a farmer from the southern province of Lahj. With health facilities strained and sanitation systems collapsed, the risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases is rising. As further heavy rains are forecast, humanitarian agencies are racing to deliver aid while local authorities pledge to facilitate its distribution. Meanwhile, officials from Yemen and international organizations are calling for urgent global intervention and assistance. Last week, the Yemeni Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation urged global support for emergency shelters, food, and hygiene supplies, whereas governors of Aden and Hodeidah have appealed to the Yemeni government and international humanitarian partners for urgent intervention to rescue affected families. "The floods in Yemen are another devastating blow for families who have already lost so much," Abdusattor Esoev, IOM's chief of mission in Yemen, said Thursday in a statement. "People are once again left without homes, belongings, and a sense of safety. They need protection, they need assistance, and above all, they need the international community to stand with them," Esoev said.
