In Yemen, the 2 million internally displaced by conflict either live with relatives, in government-managed informal shelters, or in communal buildings converted into accommodation where whole families live in each room. UNHCR is providing emergency assistance, including mattresses, blankets, sleeping mats, kitchen sets, buckets and other essential items to those forcible displaced and in need. Our assistance has reached people in all 20 governorates affected by the conflict. Our shelter kits help families repair damaged homes, and we provide legal and financial assistance as well as psycho-social support. We also we continue to protect and support some 280,000 refugees, mainly from the Horn of Africa, who remain in Yemen despite the conflict.
