IDPs in Yemen confront challenges stemming from both conflict and climate-induced displacement. Climate-related displacement continues to be the main driver of forced displacement. Many of them reside in camp-like settings such as schools or vacant public buildings. These sites often face limited access to services and inadequate infrastructure, leading to increased vulnerability to health risks and safety concerns. Various interventions are underway to address their protection needs, including documentation, flood risk reduction, mine risk awareness, transitional shelters, and core relief items. Some IDPs choose to return spontaneously or settle locally in areas with more opportunities. Despite some returns of internally displaced persons (IDPs), challenges in humanitarian access persist.

Yemen is not party to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons or the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
