On Sunday, 11 August 2024, heavy rains and storms in Ma’rib Governorate, Yemen, resulted in eight deaths and ten injuries, severely damaging camps for displaced persons. Over 2,972 families were fully affected, with 4,206 others partially impacted, leaving thousands in desperate need of assistance.

The Executive Unit for the Management of Displaced Persons Camps has urgently called on humanitarian organizations to provide essential aid. Immediate needs include shelter for 2,973 families, shelter repairs for 4,206 families, and non-food items and food assistance for 7,179 families. Additionally, 4,876 families require urgent solutions for water, sanitation, and hygiene issues.

We need RM5,000 to distribute to the victims, with funds allocated for:

1. Shelter: Sustainable shelters and containers.
2. Shelter Maintenance: Repairs and upkeep.
3. Shelter Materials: Brushes, blankets, kitchen tools, and clothes.
4. Food: Emergency ready meals, food supplies, and cash for food.
5. Water and Environmental Sanitation: Potable water, cleanliness bags, family tanks, sewage suction, sewage network maintenance, and bathroom facilities.
6. Protection: Cash assistance, psychological support, and legal assistance..

Local authorities swiftly activated emergency response teams to rescue and evacuate families, build water barriers, and restore electricity in the affected areas. Despite these efforts, the catastrophic conditions have left the displaced population in dire need of shelter, food, water, sanitation, hygiene, psychological support, and cash assistance.

The weather instability is expected to continue, with thunderstorms affecting multiple regions. Citizens are warned to take precautions, avoid dangerous areas, and authorities are urged to protect lives and property. Immediate humanitarian intervention is crucial to alleviate the suffering of those who have lost everything due to this disaster.
