YEMEN: HUMANITARIAN SNAPSHOT - OVERVIEW ON POPULATION MOVEMENT
(as of May 2016)
POPULATION MOVEMENT (May 2016)
In the absence of a political solution, the humanitarian
situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate. In search of safety
and livelihoods, over 2.8 million people continue to be on the move
in Yemen. With their safety nets depleted, as savings dwindle and
remittances from abroad dry up, more people are moving to makeshift
and spontaneous settlements and are turning to negative coping
strategies for survival. This includes increased child labour and
early marriage. The added stresses on host communities are also
increasing as the econo-my collapses. The movement of people is
also increasing out of Yemen with over 175,000 fleeing across
borders in the region. Lured by stories of times past and by
traffickers, over 30,000 people have also crossed into Yemen
fleeing persecution and looking for work opportunities.
