The UNHCR says more than 250,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since fighting escalated. The count covers people forced from their homes as violence has continued to spread across the country. UNICEF has also warned that fighting in Taiz is threatening water systems serving an estimated three million people. Damage to those systems or disruption of their operation could leave households without dependable access to safe water. The risks are particularly severe for displaced families, who may already have lost homes, livelihoods and access to basic services. The two warnings show how armed conflict can compound displacement with a shortage of essential water and sanitation. Humanitarian access and the protection of civilian infrastructure remain central concerns in the affected areas.
