The rainy season in
#Yemen
poses not only environmental challenges but also increases the risk of disease spread.
UNHCR's partners are raising awareness among displaced families on protective measures through group sessions, house-to-house visits, & informative posters.

Today the rains have luckily subsided in Dadaab, but 3,000 shelters have been destroyed and 20,000 refugees are still displaced.
UNHCR continues to distribute essential non-food items and we are coordinating with partners and the Government.

Every refugee child has a dream.
All they need is an opportunity.
For Abdirahman, that dream is to become a pro football player and take care of his family.

Recent heavy rains in East Africa are taking a heavy toll, destroying homes and causing displacement.
📍These scenes are from Kenya's Dadaab refugee camps.
The climate crisis is wreaking havoc and displaced people are once again bearing the brunt of it.

Rising food costs.
Rising waters.
Rising temperatures.
Rising tensions.
Rising displacement.
The climate crisis is driving people from their homes and making life impossibly hard for those who have already fled.
