UNHCR reported that over 130,000 people have been displaced since early September amid intensifying clashes between Houthi forces and Saudi-backed government troops, with Taiz accounting for more than 60 percent of the recent movement. The agency stated that the majority of those affected are women and children, who have fled from various governorates, though specific operational details regarding roadblocks and fuel shortages remain unverified in this context.

These developments add to a pre-existing crisis where more than 5.2 million people were already internally displaced prior to the current escalation.
