In the same context, approximately 500 families have been displaced again from Majzar villages and camps, located in the northeast of Ma’rib Governorate, after they were targeted by the artillery shelling of the Houthi militia.

The coalition pointed out that the displacement camps lack the most basic requirements of relief and urgent housing materials. It also appealed to local and international organizations to quickly provide urgent assistance.
