NGOs shape The current Yemen status

UNICEF estimates that at least 77 children have been killed and 44 maimed since 26 March. Casualty reports are often underestimates, as people may not have the means to seek treatment in hospitals, and families may bury their dead before reports are collected

According to OHCHR, violence since 26 March has badly affected civilian infrastructure. Attacks have been reported on at least 37 public buildings, resulting in their complete or partial destruction. In these incidents, the following facilities were affected: five hospitals in Sana’a, Al Dhale’e and Aden; 15 schools and educational institutions in Aden, Al-Dhale’e, and Sana’a; the three main national airports (Sana’a, Aden and Hodidah); at least two bridges, two factories and four mosques in Al Dhale’e. In addition, civilians’ private homes are being directly affected by airstrikes and armed clashes.

As of 3 April, local partner reports estimated that at least 100,000 people had been displaced by the recent conflict. These figures have not been independently verified. Since then, significant additional displacement has been reported, mainly from Sa’ada into Amran and Hajjah, from Sana’a into Amran, from Lahj and Al Dhale’e into Abyan, within Hajjah, and from Hajjah into Al Hudaydah. Large numbers of people have also been observed leaving Sana’a and Aden for the countryside, IDPs numbers reached in Abyan more than 8000

According to UNHCR, over 900 people have arrived in Djibouti and Somalia from Yemen since the start of the crisis. This includes 463 Yemeni nationals. More arrivals are expected. As of 8 April, IOM had recorded the arrival of nearly 5,000 people – mainly third-country nationals – in the Horn of Africa from Yemen. The vast majority of these arrivals were in Ethiopia.

According to Oxfam, food prices have doubled and fuel prices have quadrupled in some areas of Yemen as basic commodities run low. In Al Hodidah wheat prices have increased from around US$0.50 per kg last week to $1.10 in some markets. Diesel, which has an official subsidized price of $0.70 per liter, is now selling on the black market for up to $2.80 per liter.
