Over 500 families flee clashes in Yemen’s Hodeidah

Over 500 families have been forced to flee their homes in Yemen's Hodeidah province due to escalating Houthi shelling, according to reports from Ajel English. The majority of these families have sought refuge in the cities of Hays and Al-Khawkhah, with 394 families arriving in Hays and 146 in Al-Khawkhah in the last 24 hours alone.

The Executive Unit for the Management of Internally Displaced Persons Camps in Hodeidah reported that 294 families left their homes on Saturday, with 187 moving to Hays and 39 to Al-Khawkhah. Jamal Mushra'i, the director of the executive unit, emphasized the urgent need for humanitarian assistance, as displaced families face severe living conditions and require shelter, food, water, healthcare, and protection.

He urged government agencies, humanitarian organizations, and donors to swiftly mobilize resources to support the displaced, particularly those who fled in the past week.
