Yemen Floods Emergency
Unprecedented floods have wreaked havoc across Yemen, leaving communities shattered. Over 5,000 IDP families have been affected, exposing displaced families and leaving them at risk.
Ground Situation As of 24 August 2025
Flash floods triggered by heavy rains have killed at least eight people, including children, across several provinces of Yemen over the past two days, local media said Saturday. A house collapsed on its residents in the village of al-Khadraa in Ku’aydinah, killing three children and injuring the father and mother. In the southeastern oil-rich province of Shabwah, residents said a father and his son drowned in floodwaters late Friday in the district of Usaylan. Their deaths came just hours after two children and a young man drowned in separate incidents in Shabwah and neighbouring Hadhramaut.
Authorities in multiple provinces have issued warnings of continued heavy rainfall and the risk of further flash floods, urging residents to avoid riverbeds and dams.
A Humanitarian Disaster
The floods have triggered a humanitarian crisis of immense proportions. Poor drainage infrastructure worsened the situation, leading to widespread destruction. Thousands of people are without shelter, clean water, or sanitation, making them vulnerable to disease outbreaks.
