Yemen
The Houthis took control of Al Abdiyah district in the south of Marib governorate on 17 October, following three weeks of intense fighting. Clashes also continue in bordering districts, and movements in and out of Al Abdiyah district are severely restricted. An estimated 35,000 people in Al Abdiyah are affected, and there are emerging reports of food and medical supplies shortages. The only hospital in the district was hit by a missile on 14 October, adding to issues around availability of and access to medical care. Ongoing hostilities in southern Marib - particularly around the main road junction in Al Jubah district - accompanied by sustained air raids, are likely to further reduce access to critical goods and services. The affected population are at increased risk of direct harm, displacement, and damage to civilian infrastructure. Humanitarian access continues to be restricted due to the lack of safety.
