Tens of thousands of people have been displaced due to an escalation in conflict. The fall of a strategic port city has led to many families fleeing, some for the second time in weeks. These families often had no time to gather their belongings and were forced to leave behind livestock and livelihoods.

The displaced are sheltering in whatever space they can find, with some having no shelter at all. Women, children, and people with disabilities are at heightened risk. Further details on the situation are available from the International Rescue Committee, which has a presence in the affected area.
