Displaced families in Yemen live in dire humanitarian situation

The camps seem endless. In these white tents, hundreds of displaced families are trying to escape the renewed fighting in Yemen. A major offensive from the Houthi rebels against Yemen's government in September triggered mass displacement among the civilian population. While an estimated 1,400 people crossed into neighboring Djibouti in the early days of the offensive, most refugees have been internally displaced. Camps like this one in Aden provide temporary refuge but the humanitarian situation there is dire the new displacements add to the past 12 years of humanitarian crisis as the country has been caught in the throes of a civil war and across the globe humanitarian aid programs and food assistance have seen cuts to their budgets as organizations like the UN and the World Food Program struggled to raise the necessary funds. Difficulties in accessing basic necessities and relief assistance will remain a daily struggle for the displaced families in Yemen.
