The heavy rains that witnessed the western coast of Yemen last week destroyed the shelter of more than 900 displaced people, according to the International Organization for Migration.
The organization's office in Yemen said today (Tuesday) in a statement on the (X) platform that "heavy rains struck the western coast of Yemen late last week, which led to the destruction of the shelter of more than 900 displaced people."
According to the organization, more than 135 families have received emergency relief materials from the International Organization for Migration and the United Nations Population Fund since the floods began.
The International Organization for Migration in Yemen indicated that it "is still helping more than 125 families repair their damaged shelters."
Yemen is currently witnessing a season of heavy rains and torrential rains, which have caused human and material losses.
Thunderbolts that struck two houses in the coastal governorate of Hodeidah, western Yemen, claimed the lives of seven people, according to what was reported on Saturday by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), which is run by the Houthi group.
Today, the National Center of Meteorology in Yemen expected rain of varying intensity to fall in several governorates during the next 24 hours.
The center reported in a press statement published on its Facebook account that rain may sometimes be accompanied by thunder in the Tihama Plain, western Yemen, and parts of the governorates of Taiz, Al-Dhalea, Ibb, Raymah, Hajjah, Al-Mahwit, Saada, and Amran.
The center warned against presence in the depths of valleys, flood paths, and thunderstorms. It also alerted fishermen, ship captains, and seafarers of sea turbulence and high waves around the Socotra Archipelago, the Gulf of Aden, the southern and eastern coasts, the entrance to Bab al-Mandab, and the southern Red Sea.
