Yemen — Rapid Displacement Tracking - Biannual Report (January - June 2024)

Between January and June 2024, DTM tracked a total of 1,648 instances of household displacements across the country. Please note that this can include multiple displacement meaning that these are not necessarily 1,648 distinct households. This period witnessed varied trends in displacement, with numbers peaking in January and gradually declining through June with a peak in May. The decrease in displacement figures later in the period might reflect temporary lulls in conflict or seasonal factors, but it also raises concerns about underreported cases in more remote or inaccessible areas.

Ma’rib, Al Hodeidah, and Ta’iz emerged as the most affected governorates, with Marib alone accounting for 770 displaced households. The ongoing conflict in these regions, coupled with economic deterioration, has exacerbated the situation, forcing families to abandon their homes in search of safety. The relatively higher displacement in these areas can be attributed to their strategic significance in the ongoing conflict, making these hotspots of military activity and civilian casualties.
