Displaced Children and Elderly Face Harsh Conditions in Taiz

Displaced children and elderly people in Taiz are enduring harsh conditions in makeshift tents after fleeing escalating fighting in Yemen’s western coastal districts.

The fighting forced them to leave their homes and seek shelter elsewhere. Now displaced in Taiz, they are living in rudimentary accommodation.

Footage from the area shows a glimpse of the hardship facing those sheltering in the tents, including some of the youngest and oldest people uprooted by the conflict.

Their circumstances highlight the continuing burden of displacement: escaping the fighting has brought them away from their homes, but not an end to their suffering.
