Displaced Children and Elderly Face Harsh Conditions in Taiz

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

Footage from the area shows some of the hardship facing those who have been forced from their homes, with basic shelters now serving as their refuge.

The displaced fled as fighting intensified in the coastal districts, leaving them to seek shelter away from the violence.

For the children and older people shown in the footage, displacement has meant exchanging their homes for difficult daily life in rudimentary tents.
