UN Migration Agency Reports Nearly 94,000 Displaced in Yemen Amid Ongoing Conflict
The International Organization for Migration says Ta'iz and Lahj governorates have borne the heaviest impact of new displacement.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations' migration agency, said that nearly 94,000 people have been displaced in Yemen due to the country's ongoing conflict, according to the agency's reporting cited by Anadolu Agency.
The IOM said the heaviest impact of the displacement has been concentrated in the governorates of Ta'iz and Lahj, though the agency did not provide further breakdowns of the figures in the reported statement.
Yemen has faced years of conflict that have repeatedly triggered waves of internal displacement, straining resources for humanitarian agencies operating in the country.
The IOM did not immediately provide additional details on the timeframe covered by the displacement figures or the specific causes behind the latest movement of people in the two governorates.
Anadolu Agency reported the IOM's statement as part of ongoing coverage of humanitarian conditions in Yemen.
