The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is mounting an urgent response to severe flooding that has swept across southern Yemen. More than 100,000* people have been affected by flash floods, triggered by torrential rains, that have destroyed homes – including camps for already displaced families – and left farmland submerged.

Critical infrastructure such as roads, power lines, and water and sanitation facilities have also been severely damaged, cutting off communities from essential services and forcing thousands into secondary displacement.
