Forced Displacement
CHR pointed out in its report that 87 of families had been imposed to be displaced from their homes and received no rapid shelters aid so far because INGOs have stopped sending such aid.
Relief Aid
At the time, that Taiz has still lived a very hard and tragedy situation because of the ongoing war in many areas that the siege imposed for more than one year made it even worse on hundreds of thousands of civilians inside the city regarding health, food and environment fields.
At the mid of Mar, CHR with its members and partners held a press conference and launched an electronic campaign titled ” Humanitarian Tragedy is Taiz” due to the continuity of deterioration of the governorate in front of the silence and ignorance of UN and INGOs.
CHR cleared that during this silence, Taiz citizens die due to the malnutrition, poverty, unpaid salaries and no humanitarian relief aid to the affected and displaced people since Aug 2016 up to now.
Due to the continuity of the high misery in Taiz, most of displaced households have received nothing regarding food or shelters and still homeless as they live in tents made in a primitive way as the inhabitants of Alwazeyah, Alkadaha, Tabesha’h were the last displaced ones. These displaced families, their houses have been damaged and destroyed due to bombing or indiscriminate or direct shelling since the beginning of the war.
CHR has warned in different chances and through its statements from a human disaster that may happened due to not sending relief aids to the city in which they would save a lot of civilians’ lives.
Drawing an attention that Yemen Government announced that Taiz, the biggest city within population, is a stricken city because of the war and siege as well as INGOs – in a recent report – declared that Taiz was the most damaged cities than overall Yemen based on the number of murdered, injured and displaced people.
CHR issued on Jan 2017 a full map of humanitarian rapid needs for affected and displaced people in Taiz districts and submitted to the entities concerned, the High Relief Committee, was on the top, besides Sub-Committee of the governorate and INGOs.
