Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has inaugurated Phase 1 of a project to provide shelter for the internally displaced people (IDPs) in Taiz, Ebb, and Saada governorates of Yemen.

In co-operation with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 3,930 families will receive shelter kits and nonfood items (NFIs), while another 1,700 families will receive cash aid to pay for home rentals for six months.

The target districts (Maqbanah, Al-Ta'iziyah, Razih, Al-Hashwah, Al-Udayn, and Dhi Al-Sufal) are among the districts worst affected by years of conflict in the country. Some of them are remote, underserved, and inaccessible areas that are hardly reached out by humanitarian aid providers.

This response by QRCS to meet the urgent needs of displaced and conflict-affected families in six districts will cost a total of $2,133,482 funded by OCHA's Yemen Humanitarian Fund (YHF).
