Taiz receives 303 thousand IDPs: UNHCR

The UNHCR posted Sunday on Twitter that Taiz province, southwestern Yemen, has received 15% (around 303,672) of the total IDPs in Yemen, with the military operations escalating along the western coast of the province.

 

According to UNHCR statistics, the IDPs had settled in al Mafer, al Wazea, and the other adjacent districts, which are relatively safe, unlike the western districts, where violent clashes have been raging since early this year.

 

However, the IDPs complain of shortage of aides provided by the international relief organizations, while hundreds of them are living in worn-out tents in mountains and valleys, without any safety potentials.

 

Earlier UN statistics reported that Taiz province, where intense clashes have been raging since early 2015, had received the highest number of IDPs, representing with Hajah, Sana'a, Amran, and Saada provinces about  68% of the total IDPs in Yemen.
