Between 1 January and 28 May 2022, a total of 7,644 people [1,274 Households (HHs)] were displaced within or to Ma’rib governorate, predominantly as a result of the ongoing conflict. Cumulatively, a total of 86,094 people (14,349 HHs) have been displaced since 1 January 2021. Of these, 75,228 people (12,538 HHs or 88 per cent of the total displacement) were displaced within Ma’rib governorate, mainly from Al Jubah, Hareeb and Sirwah districts. The remaining 10,866 displaced people (1,811 HHs) originated from other governorates1 .
The peak of the displacement was in October 2021 when over 20,958 people (3,493 HHs) were displaced in a single month. Since the announcement of the truce on 2 April 2022 , there has been a significant reduction in displacemet within/towards Ma’rib with 107 HHs (642 people) displaced in April and 148 HHs (888 people) displaced in May 2022. 2 Between 1 January and 28 May 2022, a total of 1,015 returnee HHs (6,090 individuals) were recorded in the governorate3 , out of which 550 HHs have returned to Hareeb district as a result of improved security conditions in their location of origin.
In response to the new displacement within and to Ma’rib governorate since September 2021, UNICEF, in coordination with partners, continues to provide critical health, nutrition and WASH services to internally displaced and host community children and their families. In addition, UNICEF partners provide affected children with support needed to continue their education through formal and non-formal learning opportunities, and with psychological and physical wellbeing services to mitigate the impact of the conflict on their mental health and cognitive development. UNICEF complements all interventions with social behaviour change activities.
